Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told Newsmax on Monday that former President Donald Trump's federal election trial should be televised live for the public.

When asked on "Newsline" about Trump's request to have his federal election trial shown live on television, Whitaker said he supports the idea.

Whitaker said, "I agree that cameras should be in the courtroom and especially in this case of national importance, and the fact that the U.S. government and the Department of Justice opposes this, that tells you that they're trying to do this under cover of darkness."

I believe we also should have cameras in the Judge's Chambers as well,

...

hidden cameras.

[albie]

Yea. Gotta humiliate an honest, innocent man who was President of the US, and still should be, as much as possible.

[Navy Patriot]

Ping to Camera thread.

I would normally agree, but Trump is this era’s Charlie Manson with regard to court room antics.

[Eccl 10:2]

Democrats are terrified of making their process and discussions public.

Deranged Smith and his cronies want to do their dirty work in the shadows. They don’t want the public to see how ridiculous their case is.

[Navy Patriot]

I understand what you are saying, however I am forced to consider the quality of the court,

...

or lack thereof.

[Dr. Sivana]

Trump is this era’s Charlie Manson with regard to court room antics.

Even if that were true, Trump's actions don't affect the fact that the charges are made up and the purported crimes are insubstantial.

[txrangerette]

It must be seen and heard to be believed. Trump “antics”?? Pale in comparison to the import of what is being done to him.

I agree there’s no doubt it must be seen and heard. It’s being done in “the name of the American People”.

TELEVISE it not only to US, but to the WORLD.

[Navy Patriot]

I believe you’re on the right track.

[Navy Patriot]

Agree.

[joesbucks]

While all are presumed innocent until convicted, there’s a lot of evidence that is not helpful to the Donald. His team wants tv coverage to “perform” rather than destroy the evidence of the state. Just as Manson did.

[joesbucks]

You have proof or evidence of the lack thereof?

[Dr. Sivana]

While all are presumed innocent until convicted, there’s a lot of evidence that is not helpful to the Donald.

I see. What is the crime he is guilty of?

[Major Matt Mason]

there’s a lot of evidence that is not helpful to the Donald.

Like with Muh Russia? (spoiler: there was no evidence but the Democrats ran with it, anyway). Wake up.

[joesbucks]

He’s not been tried. So as I noted, innocent until found guilty. You’ll notice most of his attacks aren’t related to the evidence.

[joesbucks]

I would suggest you by some no doze. If this were Hillary but the circumstances and evidence were the same you’d be suggesting she be burned at the stake.

[1Old Pro]

I believe we also should have cameras in the Judge's Chambers as well,

And taxpayer funded school classrooms, blurred except for the teacher and blackboards.

[Dr. Sivana]

My question wasn’t so much about conviction. I’ll try again: What crime is he accused of?

[joesbucks]

Federal election subversion trial.
