The Capitol riot investigation led to the issuance of two subpoenas. He said he would lead the charge in subpoenaing current President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, members of the January 6 committee and otherclowns if the Republicans win the presidential election.
In an interview with MSNBC, Navarro said that he would take all of the clowns. "I'll take Biden and every single senior staff member in there, I'll put them with subpoenas, and we'll start with the impeachment of Biden for the things he's done in the past."
The ex-Trump aide discussed his plan to overturn the election in order to delay the certification of Biden's victory.
The election would be thrown to the House of Representatives if states withdrew their certifications. Even though the House is controlled by Democrats, the way votes are counted in a presidential election would most likely go to Trump.
