Ex-Trump adviser Peter Navarro acted like 'he was above the law,' prosecutors said during opening statements in his trial on defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee.
Peter Navarro, adviser to former President Donald Trump, stops to speak as he arrives for opening arguments in his trial on contempt of Congress charges for refusing to cooperate with the House of Representatives committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, at U.S. District Court in Washington, Sept. 6, 2023.
Crabb showed jurors an email that Navarro sent to a committee staffer citing executive privilege before he was supposed to appear for testimony. The staffer, according to the email presented to the jurors, explained to Navarro that the "number of things the committee wanted to talk to [Navarro] about had nothing to do with Navarro's work as a trade adviser."

In subsequent testimony, David Buckley, a former staff director for the Jan. 6 committee, testified about the subpoena that was issued to Navarro, including the type of documents that were requested and the deadlines that Navarro was asked to meet.
