House Republicans Call for Testimony Over Denied Access to Peter Navarro in Prison

GOP members allege politicization of the Bureau of Prisons after officials barred congressional interviews with the incarcerated former Trump advisor.

  • House Judiciary Committee demands testimony from BOP Director Colette Peters following refusal to allow Rep. Matt Gaetz to meet with Peter Navarro.
  • Navarro, serving a sentence for contempt of Congress, was deemed 'too notorious' for congressional visits, sparking GOP accusations of bias.
  • The denial of access cited by BOP contrasts with previous high-profile inmate interviews, including those with John Gotti and the QAnon Shaman.
  • GOP lawmakers request Peters' testimony at a June 13 hearing, raising concerns over potential political interference in prison administration.
  • The issue also involves Jason Galanis, a former Biden associate, who claims mistreatment in prison due to his political statements.
