In the late Friday filing, Trump argued that prosecutors want the trial held “in darkness” as part of what he claims is a politically motivated effort by President Joe Biden’s administration to undermine his bid for re-election next year.
In his latest filing by his lawyers, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, Trump endorsed requests by media organizations that U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan allow live television coverage of the trial.
“Every person in America, and beyond, should have the opportunity to study this case firsthand and watch as, if there is a trial, President Trump exonerates himself of these baseless and politically motivated charges,” said the filing.
Duh, this fucker thrives on media spectacle. Do not give this bitch special privilege.
He’s only doing this to turn it into a circus, the fucking clown
Record the trial and release it after the verdict. We get the full transparency, with none of the spectacle during the proceedings.
They’re going to be screaming “martyr” no matter what they do, so might as well
I’m imagining a late night tv commercial that resembles Girls gone wild commercials. “See Trump like you’ve never seen before, raw, uncensored, and wild! Only 19.95, act now and get Trump the Sentencing for free, just pay shipping”
Can we just skip to Trump: The Quickening and Henry Cavill grows more powerful as The Highlander?
I….
Okay. Not my proudest moment, but I’d totally pirate it.
Broadcasting it will do nothing to sway his supporters. For fucks sake they WATCHED the debates he was in and loved every second of it while anyone with more than a single brain cell watched him get absolutely trounced in every one of them with his incoherent babbling and factually incorrect statements
Fine, record it and publish it after a verdict has been made.
Dude, the only way you’re like OJ is that you did it.
He’s also the same color as OJ.
This is a dangerous catch-22 because televising the trial will only help his followers who will not see the truth being put forward, only finding more reason to believe in his “martyrdom” bullshit.
As it stands we have multiple top-notch journalists from world-wide news sites reporting on what happens, and imo that’s good enough.
Dude’s so far out of his depth and he has no idea. Federal courts don’t allow televised proceedings. Full stop.
They have allowed it before and will again if it’s in the public benefit which judicially is a very high bar.
Notably in federal civil court there is no rule 53 barring video recording like there is for criminal trial.
