Jan. 6 Committee Subpoenas Peter Navarro, Who Boasted of Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former White House senior adviser Peter Navarro said Wednesday he won't
comply with a congressional subpoena issued by the House committee
investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Navarro has 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. 

The Washington Post reports that after Trump lost the 2020 election,
Rudy Giuliani and other Trump legal advisers asked a Republican
prosecutor in northern Michigan to hand over his county's voting
machines to Trump's team. 

Meanwhile, the National Archives has discovered what it says appeared to
be classified information in documents Trump took with him from the
White House as he left office. Last month, Trump returned 15 boxes of
records from his Mar-a-Lago resort which he'd taken with him in
violation of the Presidential Records Act. Among the documents were
letters from Barack Obama and Kim Jong-un. Times reporter Maggie
Haberman writes in her new book "Confidence Man" that while Trump was in
office, staff periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a
White House toilet and believed the president had flushed the records.
