His attorneys argued cameras being present in the court would create a"circus-like atmosphere" while also raising security concerns.
Former President Donald J. Trump stops to talk to reporters and members of the media as he walks from the Oval Office to board Marine One to depart from the South Lawn at the White House on Friday, July 19th, 2019 in Washington, DC.
Meanwhile, the Manhattan district attorney's office deferred to the judge as to whether the arraignment should be broadcasted but noted there"does not appear to be a categorical prohibition on cameras during an arraignment," according to CNN.that Justice Merchan will have broad discretion in the case but will have to weigh the rights of Trump's right to a fair trial against the media's First Amendment rights.
"We always have to remember that any defendant, including President Trump, is entitled to the presumption of innocence. In a trial, you want to ensure that the process is fair," he said."I agree with Trump's lawyers that adding cameras to the proceedings, whether it's the trial or pretrial hearings including arraignment—that will poison any jury pool that could be chosen to decide the fate of Donald Trump.
