Donald Trump isn't taking the news well that his former adviser Peter Navarro was found guilty on both counts of Contempt of Congress for blowing off the House Jan 6 Select Committee probe. Trump took to his struggling Truth Social platform to throw a temper tantrum. And of course, it's full of lies.
"I can’t believe that these Fascist Monsters have so viciously gone after the great Peter Navarro for defying the totally partisan January 6th Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs, who refused to go after Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and the reasons she and the Mayor of D.C. REJECTED 10,000 soldiers, which would have easily stopped any future security problem," he wrote. "His testimony wouldn’t have mattered, anyway, because the “Committee” QUICKLY and ILLEGALLY DELETED & DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE & FINDINGS!"
"There was MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, evidence and findings that the Unselect Committee DID NOT WANT SEEN," he continued. "This deleted and destroyed evidence is a big part of my defense, and the defense of many others."
"They should be the ones who are prosecuted, not Peter Navarro who, by the way, was single greatest trade negotiator against China, who paid the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars during the Trump Administration (never paid ten cents before us!). Only China is celebrating the Navarro conviction!" he wrote.
"God Bless Great American Trade Negotiator & Patriot, Peter Navarro," he added. "He brought billions of dollars into our Country, and now the lunatic Marxists & Fascists want him in jail because of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs. In the end, it will all work out, and we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
All of his lies have been debunked repeatedly. Peter Navarro brazenly defied a subpoena from Congress. That's illegal, Donald. What an absolute walnut.
