Washington D.C. - A federal judge has dismissed a case against Peter Navarro, who served as a trade advisor during the Trump administration. The case involved accusations that Navarro used a private email account to conduct government business and improperly handled presidential records.
The judge presiding over the case stated that there was insufficient evidence to proceed and that the decision to dismiss the case was within the purview of prosecutorial discretion. This effectively ends the legal proceedings against Navarro related to these allegations.
Navarro had previously denied any wrongdoing, arguing that his use of a private email account was minimal and did not violate any laws or regulations. The dismissal comes after months of legal wrangling and debate over the handling of government communications by former administration officials. The Department of Justice has not yet issued a statement regarding the dismissal.
