Former Trump advisor Peter Navarro was indicted in June last year on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify and honor a subpoena and turn over documents relating to the January 6 insurrection. And he hasn't stopped crying about it since.

Navarro took to Twitter to complain that his legal bills just topped $500,000, so he's seeking donations. He added a broken link to a donation page. Navarro also linked to a CNN article, saying that a federal judge on Friday delayed his contempt of Congress trial, likely for months, to allow for additional pre-trial debate over the role executive privilege could play when the case goes to a jury.

Twitter users pounced:

Now that the GOP has a narrow majority in the House, they're suddenly acting like Republicans didn't brazenly defy subpoenas. And now they're threatening to issue a flurry of them at some point -- because reasons.
