Donald Trump enjoys being on television, but his upcoming trial on charges of attempting to undermine democracy will likely happen without cameras present. However, there is a growing movement, including Trump’s own defense team, urging the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court to allow cameras in the courtroom. The Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), which has been advocating for broadcast journalists since 1946, is leading a coalition to petition the Judicial Conference to make an exception for Trump. The Supreme Court began streaming live audio of arguments last year and some believe it’s not a stretch to include video. Trump’s lawyer and a group of Democrats in Congress also support live coverage. The RTDNA argues that the public has a right and a need to see the trial unfold firsthand in order to trust the outcome. The campaign for televised proceedings is part of a broader discussion about allowing cameras in US courtrooms, which has been a contentious issue for decades. The argument against cameras includes concerns about protecting witnesses, maintaining the fairness of the trial, and preventing lawyers from grandstanding. Advocates for allowing cameras argue that transparency is necessary, especially in a significant case such as this one involving a former president. There are also ongoing discussions about allowing cameras in courts in Canada, although the legal profession there has pushed against the idea.
National broadcasters in the United States are advocating for the televised coverage of Trump’s trials.
