Watergate Prosecutor Emphasizes the Necessity of Televising Trump’s Federal Case
Former Watergate prosecutor Jon Sale believes that the case against former President Donald Trump, being tried by special counsel Jack Smith, should be televised. Sale argues that the American people need to see the story so that they do not become numb to the charges Trump is facing. Trump faces 91 felony counts across four indictments, including charges related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and the Capitol riot. Over 40 Democrat lawmakers have supported televising the hearings, stating that it is a powerful circumstance that should be witnessed by the public. However, there is also opposition to having cameras in the courtroom, with concerns that it could turn the trial into entertainment.
