US judge asks Trump if he wants his federal election trial televised
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington asked Trump's lawyers to give their opinion by Nov. 10 on media requests to broadcast the trial, which is scheduled to begin in March 2024.
In two separate filings, NBC News and a coalition of 19 media organizations and press advocacy groups argue that the public has a right to see an unprecedented trial of a former US president who is also the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination. They argue that a federal rule barring broadcast of criminal proceedings is unconstitutional.
Prosecutors have said in court filings that they oppose the effort but have not explained why. They are due to file their argument by 3 Nov.
Trump's lead lawyer in the case, John Lauro, previously told CNN that he personally supported televising the trial. Lauro told Reuters on Friday that Trump will respond "in accordance with the Court's Order."
It is unclear whether Trump, a former reality television star who has aggressively courted publicity in his business and political career, will want to broadcast the trial, which will come in the thick of the Republican nominating contest...

Federal trials aren't televised Chutkan is just looking for an excuse to get her face on TV. She would be like Judge Idiot err...Judge Ito in the O.J. trial. Worst trial ever.
