Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers changed their position on whether to televise his upcoming trial, special counsel Jack Smith said in a new filing to a federal court.

Mr. Smith’s team said on Nov. 3 that it opposed motions from media outlets to broadcast the trial, which is set to start in 2024. The special counsel’s team said at the time that lawyers for President Trump “convey that he takes no position with respect to these applications.”
