Former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has refused to comply with a Congressional subpoena for documents related to the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus, saying the former president ordered him not to, according to a letter Navarro wrote to the subcommittee investigating.
Navarro served as one of former President Donald Trump's pandemic response advisers and was, in part, responsible for curating the response to the virus. CNN previously reported he warned the White House in a January 2020 memo the virus could become a "full-blown pandemic."
The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis issued the subpoena last month as part of its probe into the federal response to the pandemic, originally requesting Navarro provide documents by December 8 and a deposition on December 15.
