Former Trump administration adviser Peter Navarro pleaded not guilty on Friday and will go on trial in mid-November on charges that he defied a subpoena of the Jan. 6 select committee.

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta set the schedule after Navarro’s attorneys initially requested an April 2023 trial date to avoid interfering with Navarro’s plans to market a pro-Donald Trump book he will release in September.

But Justice Department attorneys rejected that request, saying the trial should begin as quickly as possible and that the government has "serious concerns about delaying trial for a book tour."

Mehta agreed that the case was not particularly complicated and that a delay into next spring would be unwarranted.

He's his own worst enemy

[onecaliberal]

1. He literally confessed on tv with Ari Melber.

[Karadeniz]

2. November ?????

[PoliticAverse]

7. At the earliest. n/t

[newdayneeded]

3. And if half the jurors have Maga hats on?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

4. That would be a disqualification

Are you familiar with the voir dire AKA jury selection?

[newdayneeded]

9. You know I am,

My point is they can lie their way through the selection.

[RussBLib]

15. not if they are wearing maga hats

he said redundantly

wheels of justice, grinding slowly
is justice delayed justice denied?

[PoliticAverse]

8. That makes "challenge for cause" easy. n/t

[ZonkerHarris]

5. Open and shut case

Ask him if a GOP Congress issued subpoenas to Hunter Biden and Hillary if they had to show up to testify.

10. The question will be not be who shows up but who doesn't show up.

Congress issued a subpoena to Eric Holder, then head of the DOJ, to testify. He refused and was found in contempt. The DOJ declined to prosecute.

[Mysterian]

11. Wrong

Holder was not found in contempt for refusing to testify.

[former9thward]

12. Except he was.

Its history whether we like it or not.

[Mysterian]

13. Except he wasn't

He was found in contempt for not providing documents, not refusing to testify.

Please get your facts straight, counselor.

[former9thward]

14. You really think that is a difference in court?

Especially since documents are always far more important than testimony. This issue will be raised by the defense whether you think so or not.

[Mysterian]

16. I'm simply correcting your incorrect statement

Facts matter.

6. "after Navarro's attorneys"

So he finally got some attorneys? He was originally insisting on representing himself but then I saw the judge went after him for emailing responses without copying all parties., etc.
