Former adviser to President Donald Trump, Peter Navarro, has vehemently criticized the conclusions of the partisan January 6th Committee and urged Congress to dismiss its outcomes.
Just The News reported that Navarro is seeking congressional action against the committee's findings after numerous discoveries of the Committee's blatant unethical and partisan behavior. Navarro's contestation stems principally from his prior engagements with the committee which led to his wrongful conviction.
Earlier this year, he was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress for his non-compliance with a subpoena issued by the House committee that was investigating the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
This conviction was invalid because the Committee's summons were invalid and their entire goal was to build a case against Navarro's boss, former President Donald Trump.
Further expressing his consternations, Navarro appeared on a conservative-leaning television show, "Just the News, No Noise," where he articulated his discontent.
According to him, the committee's setup was not driven by a desire to investigate the actual events of the insurrection but was harmoniously designed to thwart Donald Trump's future political chances.
During his TV appearance, Navarro did not mince words. "It was formed for only one purpose, and that was not to investigate the insurrection," he remarked starkly.
He asserted that the underlying aim was purely to formulate a criminal case against Donald Trump. This, he argued, was strategically poised to block Trump from running for presidency again and ultimately barring him from elected office.
Navarro's underpinning belief is that a congressional resolution repudiating the committee’s findings could have far-reaching implications, potentially altering past verdicts associated with the committee's investigations.
"I hope they do something," he conveyed earnestly. "That's exactly what they should do. It would have helped Steve Bannon, myself, and Donald Trump if they had done it a year and a half ago when they should [have]," he added, indicating potential benefits from a retroactive condemnation of the Jan. 6 Committee's efforts.
Navarro branded the committee as a "witch hunt," echoing terminology popular in certain political factions adverse to the committee's operations.
His bold claims add further complexity to the ongoing debate about the nature of the events of January 6th and the resultant political fallout.
Through his criticisms, Navarro aims to not only clear his name but also to pave the way for a recalibration of how the insurrection is officially understood and narrated in American political discourse. His call for congressional intervention seeks to shift the legacies of those involved in or associated with the events leading up to and following the Capitol riot.
Conclusively, Navarro’s actions highlight a profound discrepancy in how different political spectra view the significance and impact of the January 6th events.
As debates continue and political lines are drawn and redrawn, the fight over narrative and truth remains a central feature of this ongoing saga in American politics.
His move to get Congress to discard the January 6th committee findings could incite significant political maneuvers in the coming months or years.
