If the Democratic Party gets its way, the Trump criminal trial for an alleged "hush money" scheme would be televised to the American public during the 2024 presidential campaign.
“As the media capital of the world — and the venue for the arraignment of Donald Trump — we must change this outdated law to allow the public to witness trials,” argued state Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D-Manhattan) at a Sunday press conference.
Hoylman-Sigal is sponsoring the bill that would clear the way for the courtroom cameras.
“With a first-of-its-kind trial on the horizon, there’s no time to waste in opening the doors of the courthouse to the media and the American public,” he said.
The New York politician's proposal was introduced as part of the state’s pending budget plan. It would take effect 90 days after becoming law. Trump’s trial isn’t expected to start for months and a verdict may even be delayed until after the 2024 election.
The trial judge has ultimate say on whether or not to allow cameras in the courtroom, regardless of state law. However, legislation would conceivably bolster the chances they are allowed.
As reported by CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Trump’s legal team is arguing that the request for cameras in the courtroom should be denied “because it will create a circus-like atmosphere at the arraignment, raise unique security concerns, and is inconsistent with President Trump’s presumption of innocence,” per letter to Judge Juan Merchan.

Just remember, this so-called “indictment” is basically the same thing as their so-called “impeachment”. Both are nothing more than a formal accusation.
As with the phony impeachment, this phony indictment will go no further and those forwarding this nonsense will probably find themselves before a judge soon enough.
now they are rubbing in our faces the fact it’s political.
I know this is not a popular consensus here, but I think all this is great political theater for Donald Trump. A real “please don’t throw me in that Briar-patch” moment. If Trump cannot find a way to make major political points out of the situation, I would be surprised.
Briarpatch?
>> If the Democratic Party gets its way: ...”we must change this outdated law to allow the public to witness trials...”
“Be careful what you wish for.”
Will there be a 24/7 video feed of the kangaroo residences?
Briar Rabbit? Or Tar Baby?
In most places that’s correct...but not in New York. DJT’s best chances of justice are in the Federal appeals courts.
I can hear the defense now: Mr. Trump’s pronoun will be Mr. President throughout this trial.
Similarly we should be able to enjoy watching the trials, convictions and carrying out of the sentences of traitorous Demonicrats.
Add to that the voter fraud that Rat Party Headquarters has mastered in the last couple of years and I fear that DJT is done politically.Unless,or course,he wants to run in '28.
You are an IDIOT, this is bring people that have NEVER donated to a campaign to the forefront, this IS energizing the base beyond expectations ANYONE that understands the meaning of this BS is WITH Trump, AND this means the BLACK community!!
Jesus, Mary & Joseph! If these proceedings are still going on next year, well I don’t know. I think I’m thinking Vlad will for sure have pushed the button by then.
I wouldn’t mind watching Trump’s lawyers tear the witnesses apart
And another thing that is in Trump’s favor about this whole slimy indictment. He will stop slinging mud at Ron DeSantis, and start focusing his attention on Bragg, Soros, and the Democrats. Where it should’ve been all along.
