The Georgia trial of Donald Trump on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election will be televised and livestreamed, according to the Fulton County Judge.

The Georgia trial of Donald Trump on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election will be televised and streamed live, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee.

McAfee issued an order Thursday stating that all court proceedings involving Trump and his 18 co-conspirators will be broadcast via a television pool. The Fulton Co. Courts’ YouTube channel will stream the trials live.

In addition, the judge ruled that reporters will be allowed to have computers and cell phones inside the courtroom, as long as they don’t record the proceedings.

    Nah. He’s not like that in court. You can watch him in any of his previous court appearances (he’s been there a lot). He sits there and listens and says I don’t recall a lot, or he answers questions.

    Trump knows how courts work. He doesn’t grandstand when he’s there.

        It’s still a court room. It’s not like there’s stadium seating.

            Uh no. He’s not going to see everyone in the same room with him. It’s a court room.

            Look, I’d love for it to be a ridiculous clown show as much as anyone else but your in for a lot of disappointment if that’s what you’re expecting. He’s going to sit there and act just like hes acted in all the other many many court cases he’s been in.

              He doesn’t need to see his audience to know they’re there.

              But yeah, it’s a court case, so it’s going to be boring. But I think he’ll need to do something to keep his base interested, and just saying “I don’t recall” isn’t going to cut it.
