Federal judge drops case against Trump adviser Peter Navarro

A federal judge has closed the case against White House trade adviser Peter Navarro over his alleged use of a private email for government business and mishandling of presidential records while serving in the first Trump administration. 

Navarro, a current senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, had been under investigation by former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department, with the lawsuit accusing Navarro of using at least one "non-official" email account — a ProtonMail account — to send and receive emails.
