Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee says he will allow former President Donald Trump’s election interference trial to be streamed on YouTube and televised. CBS News is reporting the live stream will be operated by the court and there will be pool coverage for television, radio, and still photography.
Trump entered a ‘Not Guilty’ plea on Thursday, waiving his arraignment. A date for his trial has not been set.
From CBS News:
This would be the first time cameras would be allowed to capture full proceedings in one of the four criminal cases brought against Trump this year. Georgia allows cameras in the courtroom as long as they do not disrupt proceedings.
A number of photographers were allowed inside the courtroom for a few minutes before the start of the hearing in Trump’s arraignment in New York in April, before they had to leave. Cameras are typically not allowed in New York courtrooms but news organizations had asked for an exception.
