“Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro could be held in contempt of court if he doesn’t turn over to emails he has that are presidential records, a federal judge said on Tuesday.

The Justice Department sued Navarro more than a year ago, trying to reclaim federal records they said he wrongfully kept after leaving the government. Navarro lost the lawsuit in DC’s federal court last spring, but the case has dragged on without him providing all of the records.”

#JudicialWatch #lost a #lawsuit in 2012 that demanded the audio recordings be designated as #PresidentialRecords & that the #NationalArchives (#NARA) take custody of the recordings. A court opinion issued at the time stated that there was no #legal mechanism for the Archives to force Clinton to turn over the recordings.

At the time, #Trump & his legal team were engaged in a back-&-forth w/ #NARA over whether he had taken…(gov) records & property….That dispute over #presidentialRecords is what ultimately led to the discovery of #ClassifiedDocuments at #MarALago — some of them highly sensitive, incl’g info about a #foreign country’s #nuclear capabilities; #Iran’s #missile system;& #intelligence gathering aimed at #China.

TFG… told aides he wanted to make sure he could keep papers that he considered his property.
