Standing behind Navarro was a woman waving a sign “Trump lost ,” jabbing at his trafficking in 2020 election fraud claims.REUTERSHe then continued with his gaggle as the woman heckled him and waved her sign behind him.At one point, a visibly irritated Navarro turned around and attempted to take the sign away, but was unsuccessful.During the brief presser, Navarro indicated that he was not concerned about potential bias from the soon-to-be selected Washington, DC jury pool in the case.
