'Murderers at CNN': Convicted Trump aide Peter Navarro accuses network of homicide

Trump's former trade advisor Peter Navarro, who was recently convicted of contempt, said on Sunday that there are "murderers" at CNN and that the network itself is guilty of "negligent homicide at a minimum."

Navarro, who also made headlines recently when he referred to several women who worked for the Trump White House as "pimp ladies," is this time targeting the news network. He's currently appealing his conviction, which was based on the finding that he didn't establish that he had executive privilege preventing him from providing testimony.

On Sunday, Navarro drew attention to an issue many thought was dead.

"From Mayo Clinic website grudging admission of glaring truth: 'Hydroxychloroquine may be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients,'" Navarro wrote. "For all you murderers at [CNN] [John Berman] who spread lies about hydroxy, this one's for u," the ally of Trump said.

In a separate post, Navarro claimed that he had "a million" of these tablets while working in Trump's administration.

"At the White House, I had a million tablets of hydroxy that could have saved thousands of lives but [CNN] crusaded against it to beat [Trump]. Negligent homicide at a minimum. [The FDA] was also implicated in hydroxy suppression."
