Former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro wanted his first phone call after his arrest for contempt of Congress to be to a TV network, rather than an attorney, the Justice Department says.
"I'm supposed to be on live television tonight. I'd like to call the producer and tell him I'm not going to be there. Can I have my phone?" Navarro asked the FBI when he was taken into custody, according to a court filing from the Justice Department.
Prosecutors recounted Navarro's first moves after his arrest on criminal contempt of Congress charges in a court filing Thursday because he complained to the federal judge overseeing his case that he didn't have a lawyer yet, that prosecutors were moving too fast and investigators didn't treat him fairly.
