Trump's Involvement in Jan. 6 Investigation Questioned as Navarro's Testimony Falls Short

Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro testified in a federal court that Donald Trump instructed him to assert privilege and not comply with a congressional subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Navarro's legal team argued that he should be allowed to defend himself at his contempt of Congress trial by stating that Trump told him not to comply. The judge raised questions about the lack of documented evidence supporting Navarro's claim, but ruled that Navarro could establish the factual basis for the invocation of executive privilege or testimonial immunity. Navarro is the second Trump ally to face prosecution for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the committee.
