Exclusive: Nationalist faction within the White House feuded with Mark Meadows amid plot to keep Trump in powerPeter Navarro, President Trumps former trade advisor was indicted for contempt of Congress on Friday due to his refusal to cooperate with the January 6th Committee, which has signaled interest in his communications with the president.
Less attention has been paid to Garrett Ziegler, a Navarro aide and zealous Trump loyalist who both supported his boss efforts and coordinated with a network of outside operatives who were promoting an onslaught of false claims about election fraud and legally dubious schemes to preserve Trumps hold on power.
Ziegler received an email from the senior investigative counsel for the committee, which is scheduled to begin public hearings on June 9, requesting a meeting to discuss information he might have that is relevant to the congressional investigation.
Among his extensive efforts from his office at the White House, Ziegler facilitated a now-infamous late-night meeting on Dec. 18, 2020 in which attorney Sidney Powell, retired Lt. General Michael Flynn and former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne tried to persuade President Trump to order the National Guard to seize voting machines and re-running elections in six battleground states he lost to Joe Biden.
Ziegler used his White House Worker and Visitor Entry System, or WAVES pass to let Powell, Flynn and Byrne into the White House, allowing them to hold an impromptu meeting with Trump in the Oval Office, as he later recounted in an interview with fellow election denier David Clements. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone were caught by surprise by the meeting, which reportedly descended into a shouting match. Zieglers efforts bypassed protocol for White House meetings, and he said when it was discovered that he had let the plotters into the White House, his visitors privileges were revoked.

the word NAZI is banned in a lot of comment sections and you have to dance all around it. I'm learning to substitute transliterated Ukrainian for a lot of things, so "natsyst" works well. My knowledge of bad Ukrainian words is increasing too.
