U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is preparing to oversee Donald Trump's election interference trial, dismissed on Wednesday claims by the former president and his allies that Jan. 6 defendants are "hostages."
As the Associated Press reported, Chutkan's remarks came during the sentencing hearing of Anthony Vo, a 31-year-old Indiana man who has expressed little remorse for storming the U.S. Capitol with his mother.
