Peter Navarro has still not complied with Colleen Kollar-Kotelly's March 9 order that he turn over ProtonMail records that Navarro tried to withhold because they will incriminate him, "forthwith."

In a Florence Pan opinion that Justin Walker largely joined, the DC Circuit rejected an interpretation of 18 USC 1512(c)(2) that Carl Nichols had singularly adopted on January 6 cases.
