The Justice Department has expressed opposition to a televised trial in D.C. for former President Donald Trump due to safety and security concerns. It has suggested instead that the trial, if held in Washington, be done in the U.S. Senate instead, as the chamber is more securely protected. Trump and some media outlets have raised the possibility of a televised trial, which would allow viewers to watch live from home, and would likely generate more public interest.
Trump and media want a televised trial in D.C. The Justice Dept. doesn’t.
