Judge Juan Merchan will allow five pool still photographers to snap for several minutes before the arraignment formally starts, according to a decision issued Monday night.
No video cameras will be allowed, though Judge Merchan conceded,"That this indictment involves a matter of monumental significance cannot possibly be disputed. Never in the history of the United States has a sitting or past President been indicted on criminal charges."No electronic devices will be allowed in either the main or overflow courtrooms, the judge ruled.
Trump briefly waved as he departed his motorcade and walked into the side entrance of the building on 56th Street Monday afternoon.Share to TwitterPresident Joe Biden said Monday he has faith in the legal system as he made his most extensive comments yet on former President Donald Trump's indictment.
While touring a manufacturing facility in Minnesota, a reporter asked Biden if he was worried about unrest, and the president replied,"No. I have faith in the New York Police Department."Supporters of former President Donald Trump hold flags in New York City, April 3, 2023.On Friday, in an exchange with reporters outside the White House, Biden repeatedly declined to comment on the indictment.
34 felonies? I thought this was just about the money stuff with the porn star?
Trump arraignment was a BIG mistakes. They just gave Trump easy FUEL. His Poll numbers will soar in the next few days. WOW
booo
Without video confirmation his followers and right-wing media outlets will be able to spin his testimony in his favour... Bad call... The people who need to be convinced of his dirty deeds are exactly those who solely rely on video evidence, else they spin it off as hearsay.
1 9 8 4
That cause they don't want to be embarrassed when he gets set free for extreme over reach
Good
Ha ha.
Booooo, Judge is afraid of premium-grade TV content
even if you like or dislike trump, everyone should be able to agree that no cameras isn’t right and this should be public as was the president who we the people were supposed to trust
WHY DO YOU HATE FUN
But none of the charges are felonies, ask Hilary. Political persecution for a non crime already dismissed by FEC. Clinton did same thing and just paid a fine! Bragg should be arrested! Campaign finance law violations are not felonies. Guaranteed re-election! Thank you Democrats!
Playing right into his hands never ends.
Someone will leak it
I don't even want to be around anymore.
Give me the mug shot 😡
LAME LAME LAME LAME THIS SYSTEM IS FUCKED LET US WATCH
WOW ITS ALMOST LIKE HE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE 🤔
this makes no one happy
This really should be as transparent as possible. His supporters already think it’s a political hit
MuellerSheWrote Trump wants to be able to lie about it! He can't set the narrative to his favor if there is a camera recording! As always, he has his way!
dailybeanspod Why not? We the people have earned it.
MuellerSheWrote He continues to prove there are multiple justice systems in America depending on your skin color, your class and your wealth.
MuellerSheWrote a huge mistake.....now Trump will go on his failing social media lying his head off..... without their being a video of what actually happened...
So trump can act tough outside as if he didn’t cower like a beaten dog inside 😂
Bad decision
1984
Thank heavens
I'm really not surprised nor upset. Live cameras simply ignite the performance. Apply X1000 to this man - most likely the most nauseous attention junkie evah. Plus he'd use the footage to grift, as he has and will continue to do as long as ppl are stupid enough to fall for it.
MuellerSheWrote Let the SPIN begin. PresidentFraud will lie his ass off about what happens today. The public is not served by this ruling.
NO NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! THE CONTENT IS THE WHOLE POINT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! JUDGE!!!
They know he's going to say too many memeworthy things that will somehow spin in his favour
Lol even his arraignment will have non-existent ratings
Booooooo!
someone should secretly record like at concerts
BOOOOO
MuellerSheWrote Drat!
Lol
all they have to do now is take 60 pictures per second and upload them and you get a video dont worry
All reputable news organizations should decline to go to his news conference tonight. The only ones that would be there are the tabloids Fox & Newsmax.
Hmmm… seems like they are hiding something from his massive amount of followers. But what do I know, not being a Trump supporter and all? 🤷🏻♀️
Mr. I need all the attention doesn't want any attention now?
MuellerSheWrote But the ratings! trump is obsessed with ratings! 🤣
Why not? Something to hide or hear?
Nooo! I really really wanted to see him proven a criminal life on tv with nobody being able to refute it. Why are they not allowing cameras
Either way the whole story has no available untainted jury of peers. This is why the push for many judges. Social media social credit has tainted the masses reasoning & critical thinking; leaders never see fit to seek Truth and righteousness. Mankind will battle AI Law
Trump wants maximum hoopla. I hope it's denied at every turn.
There should be video evidence. Otherwise, Trump can lie about the proceedings. This is a historic event & should be recorded, ManhattanDA . You don’t want to release footage as it occurs, fine; but audio & visual documentation is essential for benefit of Justice & the people.
duh
Let him lie under oath!
It's because it's all a farce. And they don't want to give President Trump a platform. If they had cameras it'd show it's all nonsense.
MuellerSheWrote But enquiring minds want to know .
Probably a gag order next
MuellerSheWrote If Alex Murdough indictment got live so can the tyrant
Perfect…now he can lie and lie some more about what happens!
The farce of Justice continues in this country
Why?
oh why? they got something to hide that they wana pull not in the eyes of the public? i seems suspicious
Xử công khai đi ! Đừng kiểu lợi dụng công lý đè anh hùng ⚖️⚒🤺 ! Nhớ bảo vệ Trump đừng để phe dân chủ tiêm 💉 thuốc tẩy não 🧠 hoặc hạ độc! ICJ_org có luật sư nào giỏi và tử tế làm trọng tài quốc tế giùm đi ⚖️
Need that mugshot. Inject it into my veins.
MuellerSheWrote Just for indictment though, surely they will allow recording in trial
Lame
It's a sham trial as they have to hide something from the public
Court cameras already film it. Don’t need any more….
I get the thought process decorum or whatever, but it still makes me put this judge in the lame as fuck category. Transparency should always trump former President Trump looking foolish and getting embarrassed live.
can you ask him again tell him my mom said it’s okay
Bummer! Everybody wants to see him squirm under the rule of law.
Boo! 👎
whiteprivilege WhiteTerrorism
👇❤️
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE ANYTHING :(
Fuck that yk how funny this could've been
Bad decision! The people must be allowed to hear (and see) what is happening in real time. Failure to do this means Trump controls the narrative.
Huge mistake. The public has a vested interest in these proceedings
They won’t give us ANYTHING 😫😫😩
MuellerSheWrote Enabling him to say anything he likes (gratuitously lie) at his presser when he returns to Mar-A-Lago. Exactly what he wanted.
Remember like a week ago when the same people said he wasn’t getting special treatment? Interesting.
Why does he get special treatment
let us have the entertainment. It is historic and it should be recorded for history. He most likely will not go to jail but give us the content of his on trail.
Good, he doesn't need the free coverage.
So your saying he’s getting away with it again.
If you can’t see it, it didn’t happen🦀
How is the greatest show on earth NOT GETTING TELEVISED?!
WHY NOOTTTT?
wtf we demand content
That’s okay, I’ve had it all on my dream board… oh, yeah
boooooooooooooooooooooooooo
so lame
MuellerSheWrote Actually. Im somewhat relieved. Just gives him more free press. Id rather read transcripts.
We the people would like to Impeached every Government Official that are Republicans due to Incompetence and Racism! We do not need these type of people making decisions on our country!!! They are trying to go back in history! Tennessee has a sick law passing to lynch!! Sickening
Everyone who is arrested gets a mugshot no one is above the law.
MuellerSheWrote May that be the only decision Trump wins in court
MuellerSheWrote Good. We don't need to film his next campaign video. The man has no dignity fir himself, but that's no reason for everyone to get dragged through the mud.
MuellerSheWrote Just gonna give him the opportunity to lie about what was said in there. We know him too well.
Ok video, but what about audio?
So, Merchan is a MAGAt ?
😑
MuellerSheWrote 👎
MuellerSheWrote Good ..trump can't profit off it lol..still pictures don't sell like video..but I'd love to have the actual trial live on tv and not cable since many don't have cable
BOOOOOOOOO
Well let's just say Trump will make sure someone is recording .. lol and then ask that the case be thrown out Can't make this stuff up..
MuellerSheWrote No matter what the reasoning for suppressing the video, it absolutely should be recorded for the National Archives. This history belongs to the nation, not any individual judge.
Please tell me y there r so many people who are constantly covering for this racist no good jerk
They're afraid he'll win
After the OJ coverage today, is it any wonder?
So, lies can be given to the public afterward. Disgusting
MuellerSheWrote This is unfair to the public
Someone will leak a photo don't worry folks
Nobody is above the law. Neither in US nor in Kenya, let it sink! OleItumbi KIMANIICHUNGWAH
Thank you
MuellerSheWrote So Team Trump can lie their asses off about how they were treated. Great. Just great. 😡
MuellerSheWrote He wanted cameras. He just said no hoping they’d do the opposite. He’s pretty smarmy.
Congratulations to Judge Merchan for being smarter than Judge Lance Ito.
MuellerSheWrote Sure, then tfg can create his own bonkers narrative. Terrible move.
MuellerSheWrote Well that judge is a party pooper.
Bummer.. 😑
MuellerSheWrote Not good. He’ll lie during his press conference about what happened and there will be no video evidence to contradict him.
Bummer!!!!
Jfc
Just bring a little one, like a spy one.
MuellerSheWrote Thats got to be a buzz kill for trump
MuellerSheWrote Y’all better search him and his lawyers. Trump loves to leak shit
MuellerSheWrote Trump is just going to twist reality. Why is he being given special treatment?! They would have put Obama in shackles & perp walked him e/o blinking.
Sad day for Americans that can’t see this criminal face justice
Good
The trial, on the other hand, will likely be televised eh? That's cool the judge said arraignment will not be on TV, don't want to give defense ability to whine about 'now the jury pool is tainted, they saw Trump get arraigned which looks so bad'
L judge
Aww c’mon
Do we at least get to see his toupee-less mugshot, or is that unreasonable, too?
I feel like we will all be turning to Georgia or DOJ and that won't happen in time. If Realtors & others can't get a license due to felony tax evasion then he shouldn't be able to be run for prez. Yet here we are. No matter what happens he can & will continue his campaign. Wow.
Loser
make it pay per view and we'll pay off all outstanding student loans AND the national debt in one afternoon.
Make it public or it is going to be 24/7 fact checking on what was said.
MuellerSheWrote Good! All he wants is attention.
MuellerSheWrote Killjoy
🫣
MuellerSheWrote No fun ☹️
34 felonies is a lot of felonies.
How about still photography?
That just makes it all lord suspect. Let the truth be told! Let the truth be revealed! There should be nothing to hide! Unless they’re hiding something. We need to begin to love the truth again.
OGNurseRatchet Dammit.
Hard disagree with this decision
Can they hire the sketch artist that did this? 😆
MuellerSheWrote Is voice recording allowed?
Garage worker shot twice by thief, charged with attempted murder by NYC DA Bragg for wrestling gun away and shooting culprit! George Soros money at work...
MuellerSheWrote Oh great🙄, so he’s gonna come out lying about how mistreated he was
The best thing that could happen would be for every person in NYC to completely ignore him. No flags, no waving at him, nothing. He loves all the attention. Thrives on it. Just pretend he isn’t there and let him sulk that the world didn’t stop just for him.
MuellerSheWrote Can somebody please explain to me why the public is not allowed to see reality, while Trump is allowed to spread his lies.
MuellerSheWrote Not unusual, is it?
no fun allowed
Not gonna lie, kinda bummed. Wanted to see the fear on his face, in his eyes.
No camaras No electronic connection to outside world No mugshot NO DNA SWAB!! WTF? Seems to me, Trump is once again controlling the narrative. Mark my words. He'll walk in the end.
MuellerSheWrote Bad decision, Trump will own the narrative.
Pimpernell13 So Schiff can spin it the way he wants!
MuellerSheWrote 🤬
MuellerSheWrote I think that’s good. He deserves no more time to appear as a martyr before the public. I wouldn’t be surprised if he showed up in court with a crown of thorns his head and called the judge Pilate. Would play well to his base at the Easter time.
MuellerSheWrote Hopefully the courtroom sketch ✍️ artist 👩🎨 is awesome!
MuellerSheWrote Good.
MuellerSheWrote In that pic he is seething and I’m here for it.
MuellerSheWrote That’s rather a shame; at least still photos I hope.
MuellerSheWrote Boooo
MuellerSheWrote This is one of the most stupid things since Donald J “for genius” Drumpf was fake elected!
MuellerSheWrote Good
MuellerSheWrote Too bad. I was looking forward to watching the clown show.
MuellerSheWrote Sad face☹️
MuellerSheWrote Just wrong!
BOOOOOOO
Justice system working exactly as intended.
I’m not a fan of Trump and how him and his deranged base spins anything that happens around him into support for him no matter what but this should definitely be video recorded.
“The revolution will not be televised” comes to mind.
boo
Let him have his phone
Terrible decision. All trmp talks about is being indicted, and this judge is letting trmp control the narrative. The only way to make this okay is with a gag order on trmp
This is the real political interference
paleofuture
Booooo
pathetic
Honestly that’s good. Don’t give him anything.
It would be properly funded and given the status it deserves. It will be overseen and described by world's best sketch artists historians and propaganda enthusiasts. DonaldTrumpArraignment WorldsBestEntertainment UnitedStatesTaxPayersMoney
We need to see this banana republic trial. America needs transparency!
Baby brain shit
He’s getting off. This is the first bitch made move from the court
What about still photos?📸
So no facts. Got it.
I’ve never seen that face before
They did the same thing to Jesus Christ
It will be recorded in the courtroom automatically. It won’t take long before those video’s are leaked
Lame, I say.
How about porn stars?
For a historic moment in American history with the capability to record and share with the people it's a no. Sad. Now we know that trump will say anything to deceive his fledglings and rest of us.
bonchieredstate
Booooooo! You coward!
Dammit!!
Frick!
Damn
Aw this is no fun what's the point it's not like he was ever going to suffer consequences anyway
we should all see this, people don't believe gov. anymore. i want to hear what needs to be said!
good, he wants to dance around for the cameras, ban him from social media too please
Least he can’t use that video as a rallying cry.
Awwwwwww.
A poor man in America.. Is not treated like a rich man in America. Or am I behind just now figuring that out. ⚔️🕊️💎🌏
Finally, some common sense
Good.
C'mon, at least a jury artist.
naretevduorp How about court room artists? Any court room artists who do drawings of SCOTUS proceedings available?
inkonspicuo Yeah….we don’t want to embarrass the evil lying freak that has mocked, insulted, ridiculed, accused wrongly, threatened, intimidated, blackmailed, fired and attacked human beings daily for the last six mean, ugly years. Yeah.
Allows for more censorship by DOJ
Let’s let him control the dialogue? Has worked so well so far?
Lol lol lol
Why no video? Surely you’d want the American people to witness this complete perversion of Justice.
Pimpernell13 TRANSPARENCY, America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good. The camera is his lifeblood.
So he will lie his way about how it went.
Long time trial to round 7 years to ten . Not easy pass
And with that you give the far right an ability to doubt and deny every single thing that takes place in the courtroom.
It's fine. We got midjourneyv5 instead.
Well that would give all of us all a break from the media’s relentless “will trump take a shit now” coverage.
