Trump Georgia Trial on TV: judge Scott McAfee of Fulton County Superior Court will livestream all court proceedings in the Georgia election interference racketeering case involving former President Donald Trump for public viewing. This is Trump’s first of four pending charges that can be seen on TV. Trump accused of tampering with 2020 Georgia election results. He’s charged with 13 counts and pleaded not guilty. Judge McAfee allows cameras, recorders, and laptops in court if they don’t obstruct proceedings.
This could be a significant case with a potential impact on Trump’s lead in GOP polls for the 2024 presidential nomination. Events can be watched on the Fulton County Court’s YouTube page. This includes all events leading up to the trial and the trial itself. McAfee’s decision allows shared media coverage, as requested by news organizations.
Trump and 18 others are accused of illegally attempting to alter Georgia’s 2020 election results. Mark Meadows, former White House Chief of Staff, and lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani are charged. Outside the courts, these co-defendants have also sought to change opinions.
The indictment states that Trump asked officials to change voters, made false claims about fraud, and asked Raffensperger to change results. Local Georgians charged with lying about Trump winning state and calling themselves “duly elected and qualified” electors. Others were accused of illegal influence on state poll workers.
John Dean, a former White House lawyer, praised the ruling for its potential to increase transparency and clarity for the public. He suggested other courts, including federal ones, consider televising Trump’s cases. Dean agrees that televised trials could give Trump a chance to address his base, who believe he is innocent despite evidence suggesting otherwise. He emphasized that even non-Trump supporters in America could learn from the broadcasts.
Some co-defendants, like Meadows and ex-DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, want their cases moved to federal court. However, no lawyers or prosecutors opposed media access in court. No trial dates have been set yet, but Trump turned himself into Fulton County jail last Thursday as the first step to court.
