"He served four months in federal prison last year for defying a subpoena to testify before Congress about the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. In an interview with NPR's Morning Edition, Navarro asserted that the Trump administration is determined to hold accountable former officials who investigated Trump's private and public dealings actions he sees as motivated by political self-interest rather than alleged criminality of civic responsibility before Democrats have a chance to recapture power in Congress."
"Navarro listed a number of people who, he said, should be targeted, including Comey. On Thursday, a federal prosecutor selected by Trump obtained an indictment of Comey on allegation of lying to Congress just days before the statute of limitations on those charges was set to expire. Navarro mentioned another deadline. "If the Democrats regain the House in 2026, can you guarantee me right now that they won't subpoena me and everybody else in the White House and the same crap again?" Navarro said. "I'll make the prediction. Of course they will, because they think they can do whatever they want until they're held accountable.""
Peter Navarro is a longtime adviser to President Trump who helped shape hawkish trade, tariff and China policies. He served four months in federal prison for defying a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack. Navarro asserts the Trump administration intends to investigate and hold accountable former officials who investigated Trump's private and public affairs, framing those investigations as politically motivated. He urges urgent action before Democrats possibly regain the House in 2026, names figures such as James Comey, notes recent indictment timing, and continues to assert executive privilege claims.
