Peter Navarro
Despite Joe Bidens win, the Trump administration is moving forward with plans for a second term and refusing to cooperate for a smooth transition of power.
The former trade adviser pledged to take Democratic "clowns and kangaroos" to court, but the next day he was the one who landed before a judge.
If youre a Republican, you cant even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or theyre coming after you, the Texas Republican said on Newsmax.
Navarro is the second former Trump aide to be charged with contempt of Congress over refusal to cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Former trade adviser Peter Navarro and social media chief Dan Scavino could face as much as a year behind bars for ignoring Jan. 6 committee subpoenas.
If approved, the criminal referrals will be sent to the Justice Department, which would decide whether to prosecute.
House select committee also revealed a text to Mark Meadows that referred to "details" about a call to legislators "convened" by Navarro and including Trump.
Peter Navarro helped plan a scheme to overturn Trumps election loss, while Dan Scavino helped Trump spread lies about fraud and was with his boss on Jan. 6.
Navarro says he won't talk unless "President Trump" waives executive privilege. The actual president, Joe Biden, says it's not in the national interest.
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" the former Trump aide reacted to the questions posed by MSNBC's Ari Melber.
