Motion with the judge, specifically explaining why they believed that he was either a risk of flight or risk to tamper with evidence for witnesses. and for that reason, they ask for the order to be sealed, so they can conduct arrest and bring him to court and on sale it right after that. >> i love how all these republicans have suddenly become criminal justice and prison reformers, once all the trump people start getting arrested and put in jail. early this week, the justice department served navarro with a grand jury subpoena, and their speculation about whether is related to the contempt cas...
