Former White House aide Peter Navarro said that federal agents “put me in leg irons” after he was charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

While speaking outside a federal courthouse in Washington on Friday, Navarro asked: “Who are these people? This is not America ... I was a distinguished public servant for four years.”
