The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol has subpoenaed Peter Navarro, a trade adviser to former President Trump, pointing to passages from his own book in arguing he appears to have been involved in plans to delay certification of the presidential election.
“You, then a White House trade advisor, reportedly worked with Steve Bannon and others to develop and implement a plan to delay Congress’s certification of, and ultimately change the outcome of, the November 2020 election,” the committee wrote in its subpoena.
“In your book you reportedly described this plan as the ‘Green Bay Sweep’ and stated that it was designed as ‘the last best chance to snatch a stolen election from the Democrats’ jaws of deceit.’”
Navarro released his book “In Trump Time: My Journal of America’s Plague Year,” in November of last year.
“Mr. Navarro appears to have information directly relevant to the Select Committee’s investigation into the causes of the January 6th attack on the Capitol," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot, said in a statement.
