Jan. 6 Committee Subpoenas Peter Navarro

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill subpoenaed former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro.

The Jan. 6 committee made the announcement on Wednesday, saying investigators are interested in records and information Navarro has about efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and his work with Steve Bannon and others to delay Congress’s certification of the 2020 election.

“Mr. Navarro appears to have information directly relevant to the select committee’s investigation into the causes of the January 6th attack on the Capitol,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the Jan. 6 committee, said in a statement. “He hasn’t been shy about his role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and has even discussed the former President’s support for those plans. More than 500 witnesses have provided information in our investigation, and we expect Mr. Navarro to do so as well.”

In a statement to the Washington Examiner, Navarro blasted the inquiry as a “partisan witch hunt” and appeared to suggest he would not cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee. He claimed that news of the subpoena had been leaked to key members of the press before he received it. Navarro also questioned why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Capitol Police, and the Pentagon left the “perimeter unguarded” at the Capitol.
