The Georgia trial of Donald Trump on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election will be televised and streamed live, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee.

McAfee issued an order Thursday stating that all court proceedings involving Trump and his 18 co-conspirators will be broadcast via a television pool. The Fulton Co. Courts’ YouTube channel will stream the trials live.

In addition, the judge ruled that reporters will be allowed to have computers and cell phones inside the courtroom, as long as they don’t record the proceedings.

      Not really.

      He can get external commentators to do the lying.

        Calling it now. This is going to be too juicy to avoid airing live on every major news network, but Fox is going to mute most of the audio and have their commentators talk over it. That way their viewers can feel informed and say they watched the trial, all while safely continuing to live in a misinformation bubble.
