A federal judge in Washington told the U.S. Department of Justice on March 3 that he was not impressed with their argument to keep the video footage from three undercover Metropolitan Police Department officers under court seal.

District Judge Rudolph Contreras said he was not swayed by a federal prosecutor’s response to a motion by Jan. 6 defendant William Pope of Topeka, Kansas, to unseal GoPro video shot by undercover MPD officers on Jan. 6.
