Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has indicated that the court proceedings pertaining to the case against former President Donald Trump and others will be livestreamed and televised, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“We have followed Judge McBurney’s model, and we have been livestreaming all of our major proceedings on a Fulton County-provided YouTube channel. And our plan was to do that with this case as well. So there’s going to be a YouTube feed the entire time,” McAfee said, according to WSB-TV.
McAfee has also issued an order allowing for cellphones and laptops to be used, but not for the purpose of recording.
Pool coverage for radio, TV, and still photos will be permitted, he indicated, according to CBS News.
“We did nothing wrong at all. And we have every right, every single right, to challenge an election that we think is dishonest,” Trump said after surrendering last week.
Trump’s mug shot has received significant media attention and has even proven to be a fundraising coup for his presidential campaign.
The White House hopeful has been trouncing his opponents in polls and appears to be on track to decisively win the GOP’s 2024 nomination. He skipped the first Republican presidential primary debate last week.
“Defendant Donald John Trump lost the United States presidential election held on November 3, 2020. One of the states he lost was Georgia,” the indictment declares. “Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.”
