"Trump's Push for Televised Trial Sparks Controversy"

Former President Donald Trump is supporting the effort by news organizations to televise his trial on federal charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Trump's attorneys argue that he is the victim of political persecution and should be allowed to use TV coverage to showcase the unfairness of the proceedings. Prosecutors have opposed the request, citing a federal court rule that prohibits broadcasting of criminal court proceedings. Trump's attorneys claim that denying TV coverage would undermine confidence in the justice system and force the public to rely on biased accounts from the Biden administration and its media allies. The trial is scheduled to be the first criminal case against Trump to go to a jury.
