On Thursday, federal prosecutors argued in a 20-page filing that Mr Navarro put his loyalty to former President Donald Trump above the law when he declined to work with the House Select Committee looking into the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021. Mr Navarro, who was a trade and pandemic adviser in the Trump White House who later pushed baseless claims of voter fraud, acted without a lawyer as he defied a subpoena from the House, instead relying on a press statement issued by former President Donald Trump in November 2021 saying that he didn’t have to work with another committee that was looking into the handling of the pandemic, prosecutors argued. Mr Navarro’s attorneys John Irving, John Rowley III and Stanley Woodward III argued that “Dr Navarro’s trial and conviction involves a series of firsts: the first time an incumbent President waived the executive privilege of a former President; the first time a senior presidential advisor was charged with contempt of congress by the Justice Department, let alone the Justice Department of a political rival”. Mr Navarro’s plan to overturn the 2020 election included getting Trump allies in both chambers of Congress to contest ballots from six states won by Mr Biden to drag out the process of certifying his electoral college victory and eventually throwing the election to the House, where Mr Trump had many supporters, according to his memoir and interviews with media outlets, including The Daily Beast.
