Navarro’s F-word to feds

Mark Moore

Former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro told federal agents to “get the f--k out of here” when they tried to serve him with a subpoena days before his arrest on contempt-of-Congress charges for refusing to appear before the House panel investigating last year’s Capitol riot, the Justice Department claimed in court documents.

In its Monday filing, the DOJ sought to refute Navarro’s claim that it had failed to provide him with needed discovery materials and said the former White House trade adviser misrepresented “the facts and his posture toward the government at the time of his arrest.”

Prosecutors said that “contrary” to Navarro’s statements, “it is not law enforcement’s normal practice to ask combative, unrepresented subjects to self-surrender.”

According to the documents, agents went to Navarro’s home days before he was indicted by a federal grand jury.

“When the case agents attempted to interview him and serve him with a subpoena at his residence, the Defendant at first refused to open the door and then, when he did, told the agents to ‘get the f *** out of here,’ ” the court papers say.

Navarro was arrested June 3.
