House Democrats have introduced legislation to ensure that the 2020 election-related federal trial of former President Donald Trump be broadcast nationally.

Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) introduced late last week a resolution urging the Judicial Conference, the policymaking body for U.S. courts, to allow criminal proceedings for the former president to be “broadcast to the American public.”
