Broadcasters to lobby Supreme Court chief justice to allow cameras at Trump’s trials
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump likes being on television. But the most dramatic moment of his political career — standing trial in the U.S. capital on charges of trying to subvert democracy — is set to transpire beyond the gaze of cameras.
A growing chorus of voices, including from the former president’s own defence team, hopes to convince the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court to change that.
“The public not only has a right but has a need to see what happens in that courtroom,” said Dan Shelley, president and CEO of the Radio Television Digital News Association.
“The only way the world can have any modicum of trust in whatever the outcome of the case is if they’re able to see it and hear it with their own eyes and ears.”
