The Trump administration trade adviser was charged after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the now-defunct House Jan. 6 committee.
is set to begin Tuesday when a federal judge has said he intends to clear at least 50 potential jurors from a group of Washington, D.C. residents to fill just over a dozen seats on the final jury panel.
The Jan. 6 committee initially subpoenaed Navarro in Feb. 2022 for records and testimony as part of its investigation into efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. After he refused to comply with the requests, Congress voted to refer the matter to the Justice Department. Navarro was then indicted on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress. He pleaded not guilty.
Navarro's defense team, which includes a former Trump criminal defense attorney and three lawyers currently involved in the special counsel's classified documents probe, argued their client should be permitted to tell the jury that the former president told him to invoke executive privilege protections against the subpoena.
