Newly Released Emails Show Politicized FBI Targeting Trump Officials For Obeying The Law
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a series of emails from 2022 showing the FBI attempted to crush a member of the first Trump administration for refusing to bow to the Jan. 6 Committee’s unlawful demands.
Grassley explains the emails in an April 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
“My office has obtained Biden administration emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Peter Navarro,” Grassley wrote. “These communications provide a behind-the-scenes snapshot of some of the actions taken by the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) to investigate Navarro for contempt of Congress and obstruction.”
Navarro was an adviser to President Donald Trump in his first term. Because of his close access to Trump, the highly partisan “House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol” gave Navarro a subpoena to appear in front of them to present testimony and documents about what happened that day.
He did not appear. Neither did White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, or former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. They refused to do so because the Jan. 6 Committee was illegally established and lacked the legal authority to issue subpoenas.
