“Given the historic nature of the charges brought forth in these cases, it is hard to imagine a more powerful circumstance for televised proceedings.”
The lawmakers told Judge Roslynn R. Mauskopf — the secretary of the Judicial Conference in the federal court system’s administrative office — that the unprecedented nature of the case demands “accurate and reliable” information.
The letter is signed by Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat who chaired the former House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Other Democratic panel members, including Reps. Adam B. Schiff and Zoe Lofgren, both of California and Jamie Raskin of Maryland, signed the letter.
Mr. Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday at E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse just blocks from the Capitol where a pro-Trump mob stormed the building on Jan. 6, 2021, when Congress was trying to certify electoral votes.
