Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro’s contempt trial postponed

In an unusually blunt argument against delay, prosecutor Raymond N. Hulser said it was the “strong preference” of the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. “to try this case while the committee is in existence,” meaning before the current Congress under Democratic control adjourns Jan. 3, and a new Congress might be led by Republicans in connection with this week’s midterm elections.

Hulser said the U.S. attorney’s office took seriously its jurisdiction to prosecute the historically rare charge of contempt of Congress, including “to bring and resolve these as promptly as possible.” “If there is any possibility that a person can be convinced by the pressing nature of a criminal trial to say, ‘Okay, I will go and I will answer questions. I will provide documents. We would like to be a catalyst in that,” Hulser said.Mehta objected to the suggestion that a trial might be used to compel cooperation, and Hulser had made clear that Navarro’s criminal case would go forward regardless.

“I understand the U.S. attorney’s desire, but I don’t want these proceedings to be a lever in a way the U.S. attorney’s office has suggested,” the judge said, noting that Navarro “remains free to provide documents or testimony.”defense is that former president Donald Trump has invoked executive privilege shielding his communications as a top presidential aide from Congress, and that it is up to the House to negotiate his cooperation with Trump, not Navarro. Mehta has not yet ruled on that claim.

Garland should pursue a superseding indictment towards this criminal for espionage and for seditious conspiracy.

Yeah that bullshit committee is over. No point to even have his trial at this point.

THESE people 🤢

No point. The committees purview has run.

Yuck.

Did he flip on TFG?
