A federal appeals panel questioned the Justice Department's argument that papers created in the White House belong to Trump rather than the public.

NPR reports the case could end up at the Supreme Court; conservative lawyer Michael Edney told a Federalist Society webinar the administration "want[s] this to go to the Supreme Court."
