Very few legal cases are worthy to be included in the category of “trial of the century,” but by all accounts, former President Donald Trump’s election conspiracy proceeding would certainly make the cut.

Yet, as it currently stands, the public won’t be privy to it through cameras in the courtroom. Only by snagging a seat in the Washington D.C. courtroom where it will be held will spectators be able to witness the trial.

Democrats Cite Trial’s Historic Nature

While federal court rules have long forbidden cameras and recording devices, the enormity of the Trump case has already led 38 House Democrats to urge for an exception, while major news outlets are also expected to make an appeal to the judicial branch.
