• Newly uncovered communications show FBI agents and federal prosecutors coordinating the 2022 indictment of Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress.
• While Navarro was aggressively pursued, former Trump officials Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino were not prosecuted, despite similar circumstances, highlighting potential bias.
• Emails detail plans to charge Navarro within weeks, including securing a search warrant for his phone and conducting a “knock and talk” interview. A senior FBI official, Timothy Thibault (linked to the discredited “Arctic Frost” probe), celebrated the indictment.
• The DOJ prioritized Navarro’s prosecution while violent crime surged nationally in 2022, and the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute two-thirds of arrested criminals that year.
• Navarro’s case sets a precedent for jailing White House officials over congressional disputes. Critics, like Iowa Sen. Grassley, argue the DOJ weaponized its power against political opponents instead of focusing on serious crimes.

Newly uncovered emails have revealed the Biden administration’s direct involvement in the unprecedented prosecution of Peter Navarro, President Donald Trump’s senior counselor for trade and manufacturing.

The communications – obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and released Thursday, May 1 – show Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents and federal prosecutors coordinating Navarro’s 2022 indictment for contempt of Congress. They expose a pattern of selective enforcement, raising concerns about the weaponization of federal law enforcement against political opponents.

The emails, exchanged between FBI officials and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, detail a deliberate effort to charge Navarro after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 Committee, citing executive privilege.

In an email dated May 19, 2022, FBI Special Agent Walter Giardina wrote that the DOJ had decided not to prosecute former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, citing their White House roles and prior DOJ opinions.

However, Giardina added that federal prosecutors “would like to charge Navarro in the next two weeks.” The message outlined aggressive tactics – including locating Navarro, securing a search warrant for his phone and conducting a “knock and talk” interview.

Further correspondence shows then-Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault celebrating the impending indictment. After being informed of the plan, Thibault replied, “Wow. Great.” Incidentally, Thibault is also a key figure in the discredited anti-Trump “Arctic Frost” investigation.

Navarro jailed while violent criminals walk free

The emails underscore the Biden administration’s prioritization of prosecuting a Trump ally while violent crime surged nationwide. According to FBI data, violent crime rose 4.5 percent in 2022, yet the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia declined to prosecute two-thirds of arrested criminals that same year.

Navarro, who served as director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy under Trump’s first term, was convicted in 2024 and sentenced to four months in prison. The 75-year-old economist called the punishment a “death sentence” given his advanced age.

His case marks the first time a White House official has been jailed for contempt of Congress. Grassley condemned the Department of Justice‘s (DOJ) actions, stating: “Instead of focusing on rampant cases of murder and rape,  the FBI’s Washington Field Office was obsessing over ways to target President Trump and his allies.”

The revelations add to growing scrutiny of the Biden DOJ’s handling of politically charged cases. Grassley has demanded further transparency, including the declassification of records related to Nellie Ohr, a Fusion GPS contractor who lied to Congress during the Russia investigation but faced no charges.

Navarro, now appealing his conviction, was reappointed as a senior trade advisor to Trump following the 2024 election. Nevertheless, the emails serve as a stark reminder of how federal power can be wielded against dissent – a precedent with profound implications for future administrations.
