A group of 38 House Democrats sent a letter yesterday to the body overseeing federal courts, requesting that former President Trump’s election fraud trial be publicly televised live. Via The Hill: “It is imperative the [court] ensures timely access to accurate and reliable information surrounding these cases and all of their proceedings, given the extraordinary national importance to our democratic institutions and need for transparency,” the group wrote. [...] Cameras are generally not allowed in federal courtrooms. “Given the historic nature of the charges brought forth in these cases, it is hard to imagine a more powerful circumstance for televised proceedings,” the group continued. “If the public is to fully accept the outcome, it will be vitally important for it to witness, as directly as possible, how the trials are conducted, the strength of the evidence adduced and the credibility of the witnesses.” Why the Trump trial should be televised - terrific piece from @neal_katyal https://t.co/zhxZGtQqT1 — Jennifer Now at Threads Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) August 4, 2023read more
