A federal judge expressed deep skepticism of former President Donald Trump's arguments that he can keep documents from his White House secret during an historic court hearing on Thursday related to the January 6 riot.
Judge Tanya Chutkan pressed Trump's lawyers on why, as a former President, he has any right to control the public access to hundreds of pages of records, especially as the House of Representatives investigates the insurrection.
