News Roundup; Navarro subpoenaed by grand jury; Trump does a little dance for the gun crowd
The first funerals for children killed by a teenager wielding an AR-15 in Uvalde, Texas, took place Monday, but at last weekend’s annual convention of the National Rifle Association (NRA), the indifference was palpable. Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro has now been subpoenaed by a grand jury after previously refusing to testify to Congress about his knowledge of the Jan. 6 insurrection; Navarro will likely be required to explain his declarations that he need not testify due to executive privilege, even though Trump never asserted that privilege to begin with. The Durham investigation launched as Trump-era retaliation against the Robert Mueller report continues to wind down in piteous fashion. Meanwhile, the nation’s violent far-right continues to target a wide swath of supposed enemies.
Here’s some of what you may have missed:
- At NRA gun celebration right after Uvalde massacre, Trump literally danced
- Ex-Trump adviser receives grand jury subpoena tied to Jan. 6
- The ever-humiliating Durham investigation gets humiliated again as jury acquits Sussmann
- Far right trains its eliminationist sights on LGBTQ community with deluge of threatening rhetoric
