January 6 committee subpoenas one-time Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro

Source: CNN

The House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection issued a subpoena Wednesday to Peter Navarro, former President Donald Trump's one-time trade adviser who following the US Capitol riot has consistently defended efforts to overturn the election.

Navarro is just the latest former Trump official to be subpoenaed by the committee in its sweeping investigation but, like others, it remains to be seen if the panel will ultimately succeed in compelling his testimony.

Navarro maintains in his new book that he was among the "last three people on God's green earth who wanted to see violence erupt" on January 6 -- counting himself among the likes of Trump and another former adviser, Stephen Bannon.

Bannon has been indicted on criminal contempt of Congress charges after refusing to cooperate with the committee.

giving Navarro immunity to testify. If this happens it tells me that DOJ has no interest in Navarro because giving him immunity prevents a prosecution by DOJ.
