Former President Donald Trump’s election interference case will have all court proceedings live-streamed for the public, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee. In addition, members of the press will be allowed to use their computers and cellphones inside the courtroom, as long as they do not record the trial. While Federal courts typically prohibit photography and recording, Fulton County broadcasts judicial proceedings on its YouTube channel. This move will provide unprecedented access to Trump’s trial, which is expected to be one of the most high-profile trials in American history.
Earlier this month, congressional Democrats, led by California Rep. Adam Schiff, called for Trump’s federal criminal trials to be televised. They emphasized the importance of public witnessing the trials firsthand, including the conduct of the trials, the strength of the evidence, and the credibility of witnesses. The letter was released shortly after Trump’s arraignment in Washington, D.C., where he pleaded not guilty to charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Trump, currently the Republican presidential front-runner, is facing multiple felony counts and will be arraigned on September 6.
Regarding the question of whether cameras should be allowed at his upcoming trial in Georgia, Trump has been ambiguous. In a New York City case where he is accused of filing false business records, his lawyers opposed media outlets’ request for cameras in court. However, another one of Trump’s lawyers, John Lauro, expressed his support for cameras in court earlier this month. He stated that he would personally love to see it and suggested that the Biden administration may not want the American people to witness Trump on trial.
In summary, the decision to live-stream Trump’s trial in Fulton County will provide unprecedented access to the proceedings and allow the public to observe this high-profile trial. The calls for televised federal criminal trials highlight the importance of transparency in ensuring the public’s acceptance of the trial’s outcome. Trump’s stance on cameras in his upcoming trial in Georgia remains uncertain, with conflicting views from his legal team.
