Sign InWhite House trade adviser Peter Navarro publicly criticized JPMorgan Chase's credit card interest rates, labeling them "criminal." Navarro specifically urged CEO Jamie Dimon to reduce rates, highlighting figures between 22% and 30%. This public admonishment from a senior administration official puts pressure on the financial giant.
