Jan. 6 committee unveils contempt reports for Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino

The House committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol filed contempt reports on Sunday for former Trump administration officials Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino.

The panel filed the reports, claiming that Mr. Scavino was given six deadline extensions for an interview about his potential role in the riot and that Mr. Navarro refused to discuss several topics he had written about in his book.

Mr. Scavino served as the former president’s deputy chief of staff and social media director, and Mr. Navarro was the White House trade adviser.

The panel, which is made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans, is planning to hold a meeting Monday night to vote on a criminal referral for both men for failing to cooperate on their subpoenas.

The committee is accusing Mr. Scavino of knowing about strategy and events leading up to the riot on Jan. 6, 2021 — the day Congress certified President Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

Mr. Scavino reportedly had been tracking the site “TheDonald.win,” which was a defunct online forum where Trump supporters had “openly advocated and planned violence in the weeks leading up to January 6th,” according to the panel.
