Revealed: Ex-Trump aide says Peter Navarro was 'seen as a liability' in the West Wing

Former Donald Trump advisor Peter Navarro was "seen as a liability" by those working in the White House, according to a former representative of Trump.

Navarro recently rode out a contentious interview with MSNBC host Ari Melber, his first such sit-down since his conviction, and told Melber repeatedly to stick to his particular legal matter. Navarro, who is currently appealing his conviction after being found guilty on contempt charges, claims he did nothing wrong and didn't have to answer questions about Trump because of executive privilege.

The court said that Navarro didn't provide evidence he was protected by that privilege.

On Thursday and Friday, Navarro lashed out at former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson and other veterans from Trump's administration.

"Watched Hutchinson in West Wing suck candy daily outside Meadows office doing NOTHING. Pimping new 'book' with White House loser alyssa farah. Hutchinson sold soul to J6 witch hunt. This her next 15 minutes of fame. @RudyGiuliani hero, Cassidy trash," he wrote on Thursday.

On Friday, he wrote, "Why would White House men - prez, vp, senior aide - EVER hire a woman after watching book pimps Cassiday Hutchinson, Alyssa Farah, Stephanie Grisham, Kayleigh McEnany, Olivia Troye throw mud @realDonaldTrump@RudyGiuliani et. al. Pimp ladies be giving real MAGA WOMEN bad name."

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former communications official in Trump's administration who renounced him following the January 6 attack, responded with some alleged insider news about Navarro.

"Usually I’d ignore but let me state for the historical record: Navarro was seen as a liability, distraction,&sideshow in the West Wing — From the NEC, to NSC, to OVP, to DPC, to Treasury," she wrote. "To put it as politely as I can: he was 'strategically' left off of calendar invites."
