The Indictment of Navarro is Unconstitutional by Alan M. Dershowitz June 7, 2022 at 5:00 am Navarro has a strong claim of executive privilege that should be decided by the courts before any indictment can lawfully issue. [A]bsent a judicial order, he cannot lawfully be indicted for invoking executive privilege and refusing to reveal arguably privileged material just because a committee of Congress, controlled by Democrats, has voted that he should. It is not enough to allow him to appeal after the fact, because information, once revealed, cannot be erased. He is obliged to claim privilege now and refuse to respond. That is not a crime. It is the constitutionally correct action.
