“The special counsel’s office is pushing back against Donald Trump using his Washington, DC, federal criminal trial as a spectacle, after Trump’s lawyers told the court this weekend he’d support cameras in the courtroom,” CNN reports.
“Trump’s bid to open his DC federal criminal trial to cameras is ‘a transparent effort to demand special treatment, try his case in the courtroom of public opinion, and turn his trial into a media event,’ prosecutors wrote in a new court filing on Monday.”
USA Today reported that Trump’s legal team said: “The prosecution wishes to continue this travesty in darkness. President Trump calls for sunlight.”
