Navarro Says FBI Served Him Subpoena At His Home

Politico reports:

Peter Navarro, a former White House aide to Donald Trump, says he’s been served a grand jury subpoena by federal prosecutors probing the Jan. 6 insurrection — and claims they have asked for records of “any communications” with the former president.

In a draft lawsuit that Navarro began circulating Monday, the former Trump trade adviser said “two FBI special agents banged loudly on my door in the early morning hours” on May 26 and served him a subpoena signed by Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C.

Navarro declined to provide a copy of the subpoena and claimed in the draft lawsuit that it was connected to his refusal to testify to the Jan. 6 select committee, which issued a congressional subpoena for his testimony in February.

NAVARRO has so far declined to share a copy of the subpoena but there are reasons to doubt that it’s limited to the contempt of Congress case against him. If he were a target, it’s unlikely he’d reeive a grand jury subpoena.

Not impossible but rare.https://t.co/PQbs5Miijg
