"US Judge Questions Trump on Televising Federal Election Trial"
A U.S. judge has asked former President Donald Trump if he wants his federal election trial, scheduled to begin in March 2024, to be televised. Media organizations and press advocacy groups argue that the public has a right to see the trial of a former U.S. president who is also the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination. Prosecutors have not explained why they oppose the effort, but Trump's lead lawyer has expressed support for televising the trial. Federal courts generally bar TV cameras and photography in courtrooms, but a judicial panel is considering relaxing that ban.
