Peter Navarro, a former aide to former President Donald Trump, has plans for when he leaves federal prison next week that could shake the Biden administration.
The one-time trade adviser, who became the first former aide to be sent to prison for contempt of Congress, wants to take a decades-old Department of Justice policy of not compelling presidential aides to testify before Congress to the Supreme Court, The Washington Examiner reported.
“I have said from the outset, after receiving a congressional subpoena from a kangaroo court otherwise known as the J6 Committee, that my case would certainly go the legal distance,” he said.
And because of his new book, “The New MAGA Deal,” his plans have been revealed.
The Examiner reported:
In the book from Winning Team Publishing, founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Trump adviser Sergio Gor, Navarro said he hopes to end the type of political persecution he and former President Donald Trump have faced from President Joe Biden’s Justice Department by getting the court to agree that White House aides are “alter egos of the president” and should be protected from House and Senate partisans.
Navarro, in excerpts provided exclusively to Secrets, said his is a classic separation of powers case. “It is a case that has the potential of forever defining the scale and scope of the constitutional separation of powers as it implicates executive privilege and partisan attempts by the legislative branch to destroy that separation,” he wrote.
When he exits prison next week, Navarro, a youthful 74, said, “First is a big hug and kiss for my fiancé, who has been an absolute rock during this.”
Then it’s on to his new project. His goal is a big one: “I want to spread the message that if WE don’t control our government, THEIR government will control us.”
“I want to be crystal clear here. Neither I nor Donald Trump seek retribution against our political enemies. Yet, it is critically important that all of those who have engaged in the political persecution of Donald Trump and a large cadre of his political, legal, and policy advisers be held accountable for their actions,” he said in his book.
“A second Trump administration must and will put an end to the weaponization of the judicial system, eliminate what has become a dual system of injustice under Biden rule, and thereby restore confidence in our judiciary,” he said.
In an email to The Examiner, he attacked the people who have targeted him, former Trump political adviser Steve Bannon, and the former president himself.
“The Democrats have thoroughly weaponized our justice system to illegally interfere with the 2024 presidential election. Their coordinated and choreographed subpoenas, indictments, and prosecutions are designed to distract Donald Trump and his advisors from the main mission of winning back the White House even as these legal battles drain financial resources away from the campaign. It’s a very dangerous lawfare game these Democrat elites are playing because election interference is a high crime felony — I’d call it treason,” he said to The Examiner.
He wants an investigation to determine whether the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the Biden administration colluded to pursue the former president and his staff.
“My own view, too, is that every single FBI agent and attorney involved in the prosecution and persecution of Donald Trump needs to be investigated both by Congress and the Department of Justice itself. If any of these people are found to have colluded with each other in the White House or Congress or political operatives outside the government, or to have knowingly engaged in election interference, they should be held accountable for what is, stripped of rhetoric, nothing more than an attempted coup,” he said in his book.
