A Fulton County judge presiding over the cases of 19 defendants including former President Donald Trump said all court proceedings in the sweeping racketeering and election interference case will be livestreamed and televised.
Judge Scott McAfee announced Thursday that hearings and trials related to the case would be broadcast on the Fulton County Superior Court YouTube channel. Unlike the strict rules of federal district courts, Georgia state courts provide significant transparency of proceedings, including audio and video streams.
However, it remains to be seen whether Trump's case will stay in federal court. Co-defendant and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows attended a hearing Monday in Atlanta federal court over his bid to have his case transferred to a U.S. district court. There, reporters were barred from bringing cellphones, laptops, and cameras.
