A senior adviser to former US President Donald Trump revealed that he received an order to testify before a federal grand jury and provide records to prosecutors about the events of January 6, 2021, including communications with Trump.
Peter Navarro disclosed in a lawsuit he intends to file today, Tuesday, and stated in the draft of which was published by the American newspaper “Politico”, that he had received a subpoena to testify by two FBI agents last week, and that they knocked on his door forcefully.
He added that the subpoena forces him to submit documents to the US Attorney for the District of Columbia.
In his 88-page lawsuit, Navarro asked a federal court to declare the House select committee to investigate the Capitol attack illegal.
The lawsuit file also asks the court to rule that the committee selected to investigate the events of January 6, 2021 was not properly constituted, and therefore illegal, because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last year refused to appoint some Republican members proposed by House Minority Leader Kevin. McCarthy.
In his case, Navarro is also asking the court to issue an injunction preventing the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Greaves, from executing his grand jury subpoena, in order to compel him to submit the documents requested, in the subpoena issued by the Select Committee.
Navarro wrote: “Because the commission’s subpoena is excessive, illegal, and unenforceable, the grand jury subpoena of the United States Attorney is likewise excessive, illegal, and unenforceable, and the United States Attorney must be barred from any action to enforce a warrant. This summons.
Navarro’s lawsuit argued that the subpoena issued by the committee against him was “illegal and unenforceable”, and that the grand jury’s subpoena was “the fruit of the poison tree,” as he put it.
And former Trump aide, Peter Navarro, was previously called by the Jan. 6 panel to testify about a strategy called “Green Bay Sweep”, which was supposed to delay the ratification of US President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, until an investigation could be conducted. In the elections for fraud and irregularities.
Navarro was one of those who supported the plan, according to his book “In Trump Time”, according to the American newspaper “USA Today”.
In the book, Navarro described the idea of the “Green Bay Swap” strategy as “the last and best chance to extract a stolen election from the jaws of Democrats’ deception,” the newspaper reported.
A group of Trump supporters entered the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, to protest against the ratification of the results of the 2020 presidential election from several US states that Trump claimed were fraudulent.
Since then, the committee in charge of the investigation has questioned hundreds of people, requested White House records from the National Archives, and detained several former Trump advisers, including Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows, in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the investigation.
