Judge Threatens Contempt for Peter Navarro Over White House Records

Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro could face contempt of court for not turning over presidential records, as a federal judge has ordered him to return government records to the federal government. The judge found that Navarro continues to possess presidential records that have not been produced to their rightful owner, the United States, and has assigned a magistrate judge to oversee the process. Navarro has criticized the ruling, claiming that the government is seeking to hold him in contempt for withholding emails that were initially considered "clearly personal" but are now being labeled as presidential records. This case is separate from Navarro's criminal contempt of Congress conviction related to the January 6 probe.
