Special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors issued a court filing saying they oppose the televising of former President Donald Trump’s federal election trial, although a multitude of media outlets have sought for it to be streamed.

A group of media outlets asked the federal judge overseeing the case for permission to broadcast the Trump trial due to its historic nature. One of President Trump’s attorneys has also publicly backed the trial being televised for the public to see.
