As U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon presides over Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, a ruling emerged Monday from an appeals court in Washington, D.C., involving Trump’s onetime adviser — the now imprisoned Peter Navarro — that may warrant their attention.
The ruling is a 4-page per curiam judgment from the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia. It affirms a lower court’s opinion that Navarro cannot argue, effectively, that he was permitted to flout rules for the return of documents. The Presidential Records Act, or PRA, dictates how he was to treat them and his argument to keep this case alive was rejected.
The documents in question are associated with a ProtonMail account Navarro used while he was working as an adviser at the Trump White House.
Under the PRA, Navarro was considered a “covered” employee, meaning under the law, he is forbidden from sending, receiving, forwarding or otherwise creating presidential records using nonofficial means. The exception would be if he sent an unofficial message and copied his official account or another official no later than 20 days later and then, still, return records at the end of tenure.
