'Coup Confession': Subpoenaed Trump Aide Hit With Same Vote That Got Bannon Indicted
Trump White House aide Peter Navarro faces a Congressional contempt vote for defying the January 6th committee. Navarro was subpoenaed after admitting his plan to overturn the 2020 election, along with Steve Bannon, in a newsworthy interview with MSNBC anchor Ari Melber. The new formal House “contempt report” cites Navarro’s statements and interview with Melber to make the case that he is illegally resisting a lawful subpoena, and has no valid legal privilege to do so. Melber discusses the legal developments regarding Navarro, and other matters before the committee, with Justice Department veteran Neal Katyal.
