U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon rejected a request by the media on Tuesday to bring electronic devices inside the courtroom amid calls for heightened transparency over former President Donald Trump's legal cases.
Attorneys for Trump and co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira are slated to appear Thursday morning in Florida federal court to enter pleas to new charges added on July 27 to an indictment in the classified documents case. Trump has signaled he would skip his hearing at the Alto Lee Adams Sr. United States Courthouse.
Media organizations had asked permission in an Aug. 7 filing to use their electronic devices to "take notes and to transmit text during the hearing, permitting these organizations to report on the proceedings in real time."
Cannon responded on Wednesday in a paperless order, denying the request.

That's it's even moving forward anyway is an injustice.
Let the morons bring them in. Just require everyone who wants to bring in electronics to wear a clown suit, lots of clown makeup and one of those honking horns.
Seriously. All their evidence is from the search, but the warrant for that search is invalid, so all the evidence should be excluded, and then there’s no case.
Or, the law they cited does not apply to a former President, so there’s no case.
Or, this is a case of selective prosecution of a political opponent, which is improper, so the case must be dismissed.
Take your pick, judge.
She wants freedom to abuse Trump and have it filtered via the MSM.
If people heard the unvarnished truth, she would reveal herself.
"I'm with Reuters."
If memory serves, in John Grisham’s fictional book “Runaway Jury” the judge did the same thing.....it didn’t work in his book and I doubt it’s gonna work in real life either.
LOL! Oh man, there’s a GIF for everything.
Can’t let DT show them for what they are in public
Guns are okay.
Ya gotta love that “Clown Pride” wig.
Only the MSM viewpoint will be allowed to be released. Any testimony or evidence showing Trump not guilty will be discounted as not reliable and thus not worthy of being reported to the public.
Exactly!!! Why hasn’t she dismissed this case? My goodness they’re blatant …she caught them red-handed, and she’s still going to let this sham of a trial continue? I am beyond outraged something needs to be done. The Oregon trial of the reporter who brought the suit against antifa is a mirror image of what is happening in our court rooms all over our country. Conservatives cannot get a fair trial anymore.
No record permitted that would out that Kangaroo court.
She likes the limelight?
“Why hasn’t she dismissed this case? My goodness they’re blatant …she caught them red-handed, and she’s still going to let this sham of a trial continue?”
She is making Jack Smith’s team respond in writing as to why they engaged in prosecutorial misconduct.
Let us see how Jack attempts to dance this jig.
Patience is a virtue
... which means of course that the only electronic recording of the courtroom dialog will be held by the state. Should a FOIA request for those recordings be successful, one will receive a sanitized digital rendering of the actual dialog. It will bear only a slight resemblance to the actual proceedings.
PREDICTION: Judge Aileen Cannon will not be the judge when the MAL documents case is decided.
Sniveling Little Schitt is in favor of cameras in the courtroom.Therefore,I’m opposed.
No record permitted that would out that Kangaroo court.
