White House trade adviser Peter Navarro denied a report that said he was verbally abusive to colleagues.

During a Wednesday morning interview on CNN’s New Day, Navarro called the Washington Post‘s story about how the White House Counsel’s Office investigated him in 2018 and found that he routinely harassed others “a total hit job” and “fake.” Navarro barely kept his job after the investigation, and the counsel’s office found that the abuse continued as he took on a role in the White House’s coronavirus task force response, the report said.
