A Fulton County judge said that all court proceedings in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants will be live streamed and televised.
Judge Scott McAfee also said he is following the precedent set by fellow Fulton Judge Robert McBurney; all hearings and trials will be broadcast on the Fulton County Court YouTube channel.
In an order issued today, McAfee said members of the media would be allowed to use computers and cellphones inside the courtroom for non-recording purposes during court proceedings. There will be pool coverage for television, radio and still photography.
The proceedings — especially those involving Trump himself — are expected to attract international attention.
However, this order will NOT apply if the Trump case is moved to federal court. That’s because NO CAMERAS or electronics are ever allowed inside federal court.
