WASHINGTON (AP) — A White House adviser to President Donald Trump acted as if he were 'above the law' when he refused to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, prosecutors argued Wednesday as his trial got underway. Peter Navarro, charged with two counts of contempt of Congress, didn't ignore the House Jan. 6 Committee, instead telling members to contact Trump about what might be protected by executive privilege, Navarro's attorney said. A judge has found the privilege argument alone isn't a defense against the charges because Navarro couldn't show evidence that Trump had invoked it.

In fact, the number of employed people went up last month from a year earlier. But beneath the upbeat data lies a problematic trend that continues to keep policymakers on edge.According to data released by Statistics Korea on Wednesday, the country added 268,000 new jobs in August, increasing the total of employed people to 28.67 million. The new job additions mark a much welcome rebound.

click to enlarge Daria Bishop The Burger At Waterworks Served By Maleek Pearson-Fitzpatrick At first glance, a hamburger seems like a pretty simple thing. But the distance between burgers served at the average backyard barbecue and the mouthwatering double stack on a freshly baked bun at Waterworks Food + Drink in Winooski is light-years. Of course, the former will cost you maybe a few bucks in ingredients. The latter — enjoyed at the high-ceilinged, 250-seat restaurant with a river view — will set you back $16.
