39% : A Harvard-trained economist, he pushed Trump to wage a trade war with China, advocated for tariffs, and advised the president during the pandemic on medical equipment shortages and methods to keep the American economy running during lockdowns.
27% : "Bannon's lawyers raised a similar defense, maintaining that he could not testify because of executive privilege concerns raised by Trump and that his attorney had advised him not to comply with the congressional subpoena because of the potential consequences.
24% : Five individuals died, and more than 140 police officers were assaulted that day as a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.
18% : But after the 2020 presidential election, Navarro's focus shifted to efforts on how to keep Trump in power after he lost.
16% : Lawmakers had requested that he answer questions about the "The Green Bay Sweep" plan that he and Bannon claimed to have worked on to get Trump loyalists in Congress to contest ballots from six swing states that Biden won, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
10% : The Justice Department had requested a sentence of six months for both Trump advisers, accusing Navarro of pursuing a "bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt" that prioritized loyalty to Trump over the rule of law.
7% : Prosecutors alleged that Navarro knew Trump had never actually asserted executive privilege, and U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta -- an Obama appointee -- ruled that he could not use the legal shield in his defense at trial because there was no compelling evidence that Trump had told him to ignore the committee's subpoenas.
