White House trade adviser Peter Navarro snapped at a reporter for asking what he said was a "biased question" about President Donald Trump's tariff policies.
After an appeals court temporarily stayed a lower court's ruling that halted Trump's ability to impose emergency tariffs, Navarro spoke to reporters in a gaggle outside the White House on Thursday.
"So you are working on a plan B right now?" one correspondent asked.
"Plan A encompasses all strategic options," he insisted. "We are not naive about rogue justices in the judiciary and Democrats filing lawsuits. This has got to stop, by the way. This weaponization of the judiciary."
A second reporter's question vexed the White House adviser.

"How much of that is because every time you get a court decision you don't like, you and your colleagues come out here and rail against rogue judges?" the reporter wondered.
"See, who is this guy?" Navarro demanded to know.
The reporter identified himself as Andrew Feinberg of The Independent.
"Okay, so that is such a biased question," Navarro huffed. "That is not a journalist question. That was like an op-ed, sir. So I don't even respond to that."
