Peter Navarro called arresting agents 'kind Nazis,' FBI says, after they told him he could call a lawyer -- not media

Former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro wanted his first phone call after his arrest for contempt of Congress to be to a TV network, rather than an attorney, the Justice Department says.
"I'm supposed to be on live television tonight. I'd like to call the producer and tell him I'm not going to be there. Can I have my phone?" Navarro asked the FBI when he was taken into custody, according to a court filing from the Justice Department.
Prosecutors recounted Navarro's first moves after his arrest on criminal contempt of Congress charges in a court filing Thursday because he complained to the federal judge overseeing his case that he didn't have a lawyer yet, that prosecutors were moving too fast and investigators didn't treat him fairly.

A little-known civil rights office in the Department of Education that helps resolve complaints from students across the country about discrimination and accommodating disabilities has been gutted by the Trump administration and is now facing a ballooning backlog, a workforce that’s in flux and an unclear mandate.
