The federal judge who is to preside over Donald Trump's trial for allegedly conspiring to overturn the 2020 election asked the former president on Friday to respond to media requests that it be televised.
Judge Tanya Chutkan gave Trump's attorneys until Nov. 10 to reply to the request by a number of media outlets asking for live broadcasts of what they called a "historic and unprecedented prosecution."
Cameras have not been allowed so far in the downtown Washington courtroom for pre-trial hearings in the case. "The American public has an extraordinary interest in seeing and hearing this trial of former President Trump," NBCUniversal said. "If ever a trial were to be televised, this one should be, for the benefit of the American people."
Chutkan has set March 4, 2024 for the start of the trial, which could interfere with Trump's campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
