There are a few strains of thought here. Donald Trump, a former reality TV show star, loves publicity. Still, exposure to the courtroom by television cameras could also reveal the unvarnished truth instead of what he chooses to post on his Truth Social platform. The former President's lead lawyer in the case, John Lauro, previously told CNN that he supported televising the trial. Meanwhile, prosecutors are not keen on the idea.
And would it be Constitutional? If not, maybe we can terminate that part of the Constitution. I hear that Trump's into that. However, Trump would turn the proceedings into a circus.
Reuters reports:
A U.S. judge on Friday asked former President Donald Trump whether he wants to appear on television when he stands trial in federal court on charges of attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington asked Trump's lawyers to give their opinion by Nov. 10 on media requests to broadcast the trial, which is scheduled to begin in March 2024.
In two separate filings, NBC News and a coalition of 19 media organizations and press advocacy groups argue that the public has a right to see an unprecedented trial of a former U.S. president who is also the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination. They argue that a federal rule barring broadcast of criminal proceedings is unconstitutional.
