Former White House trade advisor Peter Navarro is refusing to comply with a House subpoena. The select subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis has sought documents pertaining to Navarro's influence over health policy.
House Democrats on Saturday disclosed Navarro's response to their subpoena and made public their letter asking the former advisor to appear for a deposition before the subcommittee on Wednesday.
"Your blanket refusal to comply with the subpoena in its entirety is improper," he wrote. "Courts have clearly held that White House advisers, such as yourself, cannot avoid compelled congressional process. The records and information that you possess are critical to the Select Subcommittee's investigations."
Choosing to ignore a subpoena can place a potential witness in "contempt of Congress," which can result in increased financial penalties and possible jail time.
