contempt of congress for failing to appear after being subpoenaed in february, failing to appear and failing to turn over documents. joining me now, kristin welker, kimberly adkins and ashley parker. talk to me about the stunning new development. peter navarro as i was saying was more than the trade advisor. he was involved in covid-19. he was involved allegedly in a lot of the events leading up to january 6 and after january 6 to try to overturn the election. that s right, andrea. that s at the crux of this indictment. let me read you a little bit of this release, which lays out why the january 6 committee felt as though it was necessary to indict peter navarro. he is charged with one count of involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents despite a subpoena from the house select committee to investigate the january 6 attack. the committee said the documents, his testimony are critical to understanding the events tha
