Peter Navarro is pushing for an inquiry into FBI agents who have allegedly targeted him and former President Donald Trump. He described an FBI agent recently dismissed by FBI director Kash Patel as “virtually everywhere.”
Navarro expressed concerns about the FBI and DOJ’s scrutiny of Trump, which he claims has been ongoing since 2016. He pointed to a timeline that started with the Steele dossier, funded by Hillary Clinton, suggesting that many figures, including Barack Obama and James Comey, were part of a broader scheme to undermine Trump.
“The story begins with Christopher Steele in 2016. That document was a complete fabrication,” he stated, characterizing it as a fake intelligence report financed by Clinton that aimed to create the narrative of a Russian conspiracy.
He added, “Once that was done, it triggered the entire Crossfire Hurricane operation by the FBI and DOJ.”
Navarro continued, referencing whistleblowers who claim that if the FBI agent’s laptop was wiped intentionally, it could result in prison time. “He is involved in everything,” Navarro claimed, adding that the agent is connected to something he referred to as the “Egyptian hoax.”
He also noted, “I went to prison so you don’t have to,” during a discussion about his book, stressing its significance at the Republican National Convention. He sees his plight as emblematic: if they can target him or Trump, they can target anyone.
Navarro criticized what he perceives as attempts from the left to vilify Trump, stating, “He is not a martyr but a rebel who, in my opinion, committed treason by trying to interfere with the elections.” He acknowledged the tragedy of the agent’s spouse having passed away shortly before the agent was let go but maintained that this did not excuse the agent’s actions.
He highlighted that the agent “didn’t care” about the safety of others involved, including when federal agents intervened at various locations linked to Trump. Navarro’s comments reflect a deep-seated frustration with the perceived misuse of authority in what he describes as attempts to undermine the U.S. government.
