"US Judicial Panel to Reevaluate TV Ban Ahead of Trump's Trials"

A U.S. judicial panel has agreed to reexamine the ban on broadcasting federal criminal proceedings, following requests from Democratic lawmakers and news organizations to televise former President Donald Trump's trials. However, any rule change is unlikely to take effect before Trump's federal trials next year. Trump is facing federal charges related to election subversion and mishandling classified documents. The panel will establish a subcommittee to review the broadcasting ban, but the fastest a rule change could be finalized is December 2026. Several media organizations have also asked a judge to declare the broadcasting ban unconstitutional in Trump's case.
