Navarro, a hawk on China policy who advised Trump on trade issues and also served on the White House COVID-19 task force, was charged last year with two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena issued in February 2022 by the Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives select committee tasked with investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol by Trump's supporters.
"Congress believed that Mr. Navarro had information about what happened on Jan. 6, or more specifically about why it happened," Crabb said."So Congress issued Mr. Navarro a subpoena. It wasn't voluntary. It wasn't an invitation." Prosecutors have said that Navarro was nevertheless required to show up to the deposition and invoke the privilege on a question by question basis. He also was required, they said, to hand over a document log explaining the legal basis for why each record should be withheld from Congress.
