FILE: WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 17: Former Trump White House Advisor Peter Navarro arrives for his arraignment at the Prettyman U.S. Courthouse on June 17, 2022 in Washington, DC.The select committee first subpoenaed Navarro for records and testimony in early February. Investigators believe Navarro worked with former White House chief strategistand others to craft a plan to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
In court on Friday, Navarro's defense team characterized the prosecution, set to go to trial in November, as a case of"first impression," arguing there is neither a historic nor legal basis for contempt charges against a former White House aide. Navarro's lawyers also alleged a certain"degree of animus" by the Justice Department after the defendant was arrested last month at a D.C.-area airport, where he planned to board a flight to Nashville for a TV appearance.
His attorneys again raised what they characterized as the government's"outrageous" treatment of Navarro at the time of his arrest on Friday to Judge Amit Mehta, the federal judge overseeing the case and said they plan on asking for more evidence about the nature of his arrest.
