From a Washington Post story by Spencer S. Hsu and Tom Jackman headlined “Trump and media want a televised trial in D.C. The U.S. doesn’t.”:
The Justice Department formally urged a federal judge Friday to reject calls by news organizations and by former president Donald Trump’s defense to allow live television coverage of his federal trial in March on charges of illegally conspiring to subvert the results of the 2020 election, joining a potentially historic legal battle over public access to the federal courts.
