Judge rejects Navarro's executive privilege defense ahead of contempt trial; ex-Trump aide clashes with protester

Former Trump aide Peter Navarro will stand trial for contempt of Congress after a judge rejected his bid to invoke executive privilege.
Navarro was indicted for defying subpoenas from the House panel probing the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
The judge ruled Navarro didn't provide evidence that Trump had formally asserted executive privilege regarding the subpoenas.
Navarro's trial is set to begin September 5 despite his efforts to have the charges dismissed.
After the hearing, Navarro unsuccessfully tried to snatch an anti-Trump sign from a protester outside the courthouse.
