WSJ rips Adam Schiff for wanting to televise Trump trials: 'OJ Simpson-style'
The 'Outnumbered' panel discussed the left's push for allowing cameras in the courtrooms and why some critics advocate against the idea.Sunday that Democrats wanted televised Donald Trump trials to"dominate media attention" as he campaigns for 2024.
"The Democratic claim that TV cameras would make the public more likely to accept a verdict is highly unlikely given America’s political polarization and the nature of this prosecution. The Justice Department of the sitting President is prosecuting his potential opponent. That is inherently combustible," the board wrote.
"The trials of Donald Trump are going to be traumatic enough without their various participants playing to the cameras and watching their reviews on nightly cable news," the WSJ continued. "It is imperative the Conference ensures timely access to accurate and reliable information surrounding these cases and all of their proceedings, given the extraordinary national importance to our democratic institutions and the need for transparency," they wrote.
