Judge dismisses Peter Navarro's weak testimony in contempt case

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro's defense arguments in his contempt of Congress case were criticized by the federal judge overseeing the trial as "weak sauce." Navarro is facing charges for defying subpoenas related to the US Capitol attack investigation, claiming he did so because Trump asserted executive privilege. However, the judge expressed skepticism about Navarro's testimony, stating that there was no direct evidence from Trump invoking privilege. The absence of Trump's testimony could undermine Navarro's defense, leaving him without proof that he acted at the direction of the former president. The judge will decide later this week whether Navarro's testimony can be used in his trial next month.
