Congress Holds Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino Held in Contempt over Jan. 6 Probe

HeadlineApr 07, 2022

The House of Representatives has voted to hold former Trump aides Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with subpoenas from the January 6 select committee. Wednesday’s vote fell mostly along party lines, with just two Republicans — Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — voting in favor of the contempt charges. Peter Navarro openly boasted that he helped create a strategy of delaying Congress’s formal count of the 2020 election results to buy time for Donald Trump and his supporters to reverse the election outcome. Dan Scavino was with Trump on January 6 and witnessed some of his activities on that day.
