DOJ Presses To Immediately Get Its Hands On Peter Navarro's Encrypted Emails
Source: Talking Points Memo
Peter Navarro, Trump’s former trade adviser and a key Big Lie booster, has been harboring hundreds of government records that he’s appealing in federal court to keep. The Justice Department sued him over the records last August. Earlier this month, U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled against Navarro. But Navarro isn’t giving up.
Last week, Navarro said he intended to appeal the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and asked District Judge Kollar-Kotelly to stay her ruling while he appealed. On Saturday, DOJ lawyers filed a motion pushing back on his efforts to hold onto the documents after months of courtroom bickering.
“Dr. Navarro, as this Court found, has no possessory right to the
records; he does not own the records; and he was statutorily obligated
to have incorporated them into the White House records system within
twenty days of creation, which he concededly did not do,” the DOJ wrote.
“Defendant cannot be irreparably harmed by producing documents he has
no right to possess in the first place.”

Peter Navarro argued that “...production of such records could potentially incriminate him in future criminal actions.”
