Ex-Trump adviser Peter Navarro SUES Nancy Pelosi and January 6 committee because their probe is 'partisan weaponization' and they have no legal right to hold him in contempt for defying his subpoena
Peter Navarro is launching a lawsuit against Pelosi and the Jan 6 committee
Last month the House voted to find him in contempt of Congress for refusing to give evidence to lawmakers investigating the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol
But in an 88-page filing, he argues that the committee had no legal right to subpoena him and that the contempt of Congress vote should be overturned
Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is launching legal action against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the January 6 committee, claiming that they have no legal right to hold him in contempt of Congress for refusing to give evidence.
He faces possible criminal charges after the House last month voted to forward the case to the Department of Justice.
But in an 88-page legal filing shared with DailyMail.com, Navarro argues that President Joe Biden had no authority to waive former President Donald Trump's executive privilege or his former adviser's 'testimonial immunity.'
And he said the courts must intervene to protect the separation of powers, and ensure that lawmakers were not getting into matters of justice.
'Repeated abuses by partisans and political score settlers like those on the Committee have institutionalized a partisan weaponization of Congress' investigatory powers that now threatens the delicate balance and separation of powers between the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of our government,' he says in a filing to be lodged at the District of Columbia district court.
