Justice Department declines to prosecute former Trump chief of staff and deputy
NBCJUN 2022
The decision to not pursue charges against Meadows and Scavino is a grave mistake and a setback to upholding democracy. The Trump administration was in on the Jan. 6 attacks and these two willfully ignored subpoenas seeking information crucial to the investigation. They should face repercussions for their blatant contempt of Congress.
Meadows and Scavino did nothing wrong, and we haven't heard the last of Peter Navarro either. Navarro already filed a lawsuit to prove that the Committee itself is unlawful and that its partisan subpoenas have no value whatsoever. If that fails, Navarro will fall back on the protections of executive privilege and the unconstitutional overreach of this Congress, which is starkly overstepping its role as a legislative body.
