Judge rules Navarro didn’t prove Trump invoked executive privilege over Jan. 6 testimony
- Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro's claim of executive privilege in his contempt of Congress trial has been rejected by a federal judge, who deemed his evidence insufficient. Navarro was charged after refusing to comply with a House subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee and failing to appear for a deposition or provide documents.
- The judge stated that there was no formal invocation of executive privilege by Trump on Navarro's behalf. The Jan. 6 committee sought to question Navarro about his work with Trump ally Steve Bannon on objections to Joe Biden's electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021.
- Navarro's trial is set to begin on Sept. 5, and the judge emphasized that even if privilege was invoked, Navarro would still need to assert it on a question-by-question basis and produce a privilege log for the committee.
