Still nagging DC Circuit Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to allow cameras in the courtroom – or at the very least an audio feed – of the disgraced former President Trump’s criminal conspiracy trial over his post-2020 election coup attempt, the coalition of media outlets pushing for access sent a supplemental to Chutkan on Tuesday asking why it was cool for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to run audio of the recent interlocutory fights brought by the fat fuck but not in her courtroom, writing:

“Pending before this Court is the Media Coalition’s Application for Audiovisual Access (ECF 1) to the trial proceedings in United States v Trump. In opposing that Application, the Government asserts that it ‘is clearly foreclosed under Rule 53 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.’ The Media Coalition therefore respectfully submits, as supplemental authority, a Public Advisory that the DC Circuit issued regarding oral argument held on January 9, 2024 in United States v Trump.”

“The argument concerned Defendant Trump’s appeal from the denial of his motion to dismiss on the basis of presidential immunity, and as the Public Advisory notes, the DC Circuit ensured that ‘audio of the oral arguments [was] live streamed on the Court’s YouTube channel.’ That allowed, in real time, the public to hear and the press to report on a criminal proceeding of exceptional importance to the nation, including, inter alia, this extraordinary exchange between Trump’s counsel and Judge Florence Y Pan: [transcript of that asshole claiming Trump could send SEAL Team Six to kill his political enemies and it’d be legal as long as he wasn’t impeached and convicted in the Senate].”

“The Media Coalition brings this Public Advisory to the Court’s attention because – to the benefit of the public and the court itself, and without objection from the Government – the DC Circuit provided contemporaneous audio access to a criminal appellate proceeding even though the DC Circuit, too, is subject to Rule 53 (‘These rules govern the procedure in all criminal proceedings in the US district courts, the United States courts of appeals, and the Supreme Court of the United States.’). The Media Coalition therefore urges this Court to follow the lead of the DC Circuit and, at a minimum, provide live streaming audio of the criminal trial proceedings in United States v Trump as well.”
