Former President Donald Trump’s trial related to his alleged role in payments to porn star Stormy Daniels could be televised under new legislation proposed by New York Democrats from Albany.
Broadcasts from trial courtrooms are currently barred in New York, but new legislation pending approval in the upcoming state budget would change that. New York is one of just two states that bar broadcasts from courtrooms.
If the budget is passed, the new law will repeal Section 218 of the state judiciary law. Trump will be arraigned in court on Tuesday. The federal judge overseeing the case is expected to rule on whether cameras will be allowed in the courtroom for Trump's arraignment. Trump was indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office last week as part of an ongoing investigation into the former president's alleged role in a $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels in 2016. The indictment was approved by a grand jury on Thursday.Trump is expected to plead"not guilty" to the charges after denying the alleged extramarital affair and any criminal wrongdoing.
The state budget had an approval deadline of April 1, but Gov. Kathy Hochul , state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, all Democrats, are still working on negotiations.
