Donald Trump’s Trial Could Be Televised During 2024 Presidential Campaign Under New Bill

“As the media capital of the world — and the venue for the arraignment of Donald Trump — we must change this outdated law to allow the public to witness trials,” argued state Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D-Manhattan) at a Sunday press conference.Hoylman-Sigal  is sponsoring the bill that would clear the way for the courtroom cameras.

“With a first-of-its-kind trial on the horizon, there’s no time to waste in opening the doors of the courthouse to the media and the American public,” he said.

The New York politician’s proposal was introduced as part of the state’s pending budget plan. It would take effect 90 days after becoming law. Trump’s trial isn’t expected to start for months and a verdict may even be delayed until after the 2024 election.
