Trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro Sues Jan. 6 Committee

Former Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro is filing a lawsuit after the Jan. 6 commission attempted to subpoena him to testify about his alleged role in fomenting the Capitol riot.

Navarro has been accused by the Congressional Jan. 6 committee of working with War Room podcast host Steve Bannon to “develop and implement a plan to delay Congress’s certification of, and ultimately change the outcome of, the November 2020 presidential election.”

In his legal complaint, Navarro names House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, every member of the Jan. 6 committee, and U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Matthew Graves as defendants. Navarro is arguing that the commission’s authority is “neither duly authorized nor properly constituted and therefore its legislative acts, including its subpoena issued to me…. are therefore ultra vires, unlawful, and unenforceable.”

Navarro is arguing that the committee’s behavior is setting a dangerous precedent and could inevitably backfire on Democrats who are currently drunk with power after their successful electoral coup in 2020.
