TL;DR Summary

Former Trump White House trade adviser Peter Navarro testified in court that he was directed by former President Donald Trump to defy the House Jan. 6 select committee's subpoena, claiming that Trump invoked executive privilege to shield him from having to cooperate. Navarro is facing trial for criminal contempt charges for refusing to comply with the subpoena. The judge's decision on whether to dismiss the charges will depend on whether he believes Navarro's description of his conversations with Trump, which were not backed by any written confirmation. The trial is scheduled for September 5th.
