Judge Overseeing Peter Navarro Case Also Handling Civil Suit Against Trump
The federal judge who will preside over the contempt case for Peter Navarro, an ex-aide of former President Donald Trump, is also overseeing a civil lawsuit against Trump that takes aim at his alleged role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Judge Amit Mehta, whose involvement in the Navarro case was shared by a Daily Beast reporter, serves on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He is also presiding over another case related to the January 6 attack that sees members of the Oath Keepers group charged with seditious conspiracy.
