Defense alleges feds have animosity toward Navarro
Peter Navarro has rejected the government’s plea offer that he serve no more than 30 days in jail if he agrees to honor his subpoena. Let’s see what he says after his best pal Steve Bannon goes to trial next week.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Justice Department filed suit Wednesday against Peter Navarro, claiming the former adviser to Donald Trump used an unofficial email account while working in the White House and wrongfully retained presidential records.
The lawsuit in federal court in Washington claims Navarro used at least one “non-official" email account — a ProtonMail account — to send and receive emails. The legal action comes just weeks after Navarro was indicted on criminal charges after refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The civil cases alleges that by using the unofficial email account, Navarro failed to turn over presidential records to the National Archives and Records Administration.
The Justice Department is asking a federal judge for an order “authorizing the recovery of any Presidential records in the possession, custody, and/or control of Mr. Navarro.” The suit also seeks unspecified damages.
“Mr. Navarro is wrongfully retaining Presidential records that are the property of the United States, and which constitute part of the permanent historical record of the prior administration,” the suit states.

So much cray-cray this week and it's only Wednesday. Lots of material of Acosta's block on CNN Saturday afternoon, but how will the prime time lineup on Fox spin all this stuff?

Peter Navarro trashes Jared Kushner, saying he is lying about thyroid cancer in his book for sympathy, and cost Trump re-election: “Mismanagement of the campaign .. the pandemic .. the guy was just a one-man wrecking crew. His only qualification was he was the boss’s son-in-law.”
"Daddy? Jared says ..."
3 / Dr. Navarro, a layman who at the time was not represented by counsel, understood President
Trump’s instructions to be equivalent to an assertion of testimonial immunity. He advised the
Coronavirus Subcommittee that he could not comply with its subpoena and suggested that it
resolve the privilege issues directly with President Trump. The Subcommittee did not pursue the
matter, which confirmed to Dr. Navarro his understanding that, in the absence of agreement
between the Executive and Legislative branches, he was not obligated to comply with the
subpoena.
Peter Navarro claims that he has “circumstantial evidence” that Liz Cheney is going to try and steal her election tomorrow with fraudulent absentee ballots.
