As coverage of the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges began Monday, the nation had to rely on secondhand accounts of what was done and said in the courtroom.
ByThe first day of Donald Trump's hush-money trial in New York ended without any jurors being seated. The selection process was scheduled to resume Tuesday.It's a moment in history - the first U.S. president facing criminal charges in an American courtroom. Yet only a handful of observers are able to see or even hear what is going on.'s hush money trial secondhand.
Yet an interest in open government chipped away at these laws and - slowly, carefully - video cameras began to be permitted in courts across the country, often at the discretion of judges presiding in individual cases.New York allowed them, too, on an experimental basis between 1987 and 1997, but they were shut down.
There is actually some video coverage of the trial, available on monitors in an overflow room adjacent to the main courtroom. It was packed Monday with reporters, court officers and a few members of the public, including Ron Sinibaldi, a former accountant from Long Island who lined up outside the courthouse before midnight for a seat."I read presidential biographies," Sinibaldi said. "I go to presidential libraries. I'm here for the history.
Commentators and experts, many of them with experience in jury selection, offered opinions from outside the courtroom or from studios. Fox News analyst Jonathan Turley said "most cities, at least those outside of New York," will see the case as a weaponization of criminal justice.
