The judge overseeing Peter Navarro’s contempt of Congress case ruled in a pre-trial hearing Wednesday that the former Trump adviser “has not met his burden” to show a formal assertion of executive privilege by former president Donald Trump.
Navarro will stand trial on criminal contempt of Congress next week for defying subpoenas issued to him by the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In a lengthy ruling, Judge Amit Mehta said that Navarro did not provide evidence that Trump asserted executive privilege specific to the Jan 6. committee’s subpoena.
This is actually one I’ve been waiting for. It’s about goddamn time some of these jackasses start seeing the inside of a courtroom for defying congressional subpoenas.

And FYI Trump can’t exert executive privilege NOW because he isn’t the executive anymore. Biden could exert that privilege on his behalf, but good luck with that.
Fuck Navarro! Fuck, fuck Navarro!
Oh no!.. Anyway…
I thought that was Tommy Lee Jones.
Looks more like Sir Anthony Hopkins in the thumbnail imo
Wish version Tommy Lee Jones.
Tommy lee jones would punch you straight in the mouth for that comment.
I could have swore this was already decided, but I guess it has to be done case by case…
