ALBAWABA - In an unprecedented move, Judge Scott McAfee of Fulton County has given the green light for all hearings related to the case involving former U.S. President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, accused of meddling in Georgia's 2020 presidential elections, to be broadcast live.
This landmark decision will make it the first of Trump's legal battles to be openly accessible to the public, although it is subject to change if any of the accused decide to move the case to federal court.
Among the accused is Mark Meadows, the former White House Chief of Staff, who has previously filed an application for the trial to be shifted to federal jurisdiction.
Trump Faces Election Interference Accusations in Georgia
Trump was formally charged on August 15 by an Atlanta grand jury with interference in Georgia's 2020 election results. He voluntarily surrendered on August 24 in response to the indictment. Notably, this was the first instance of an American president having their mugshot taken, as Trump posed for the camera during his surrender, cementing his place in history.
Since turning himself in on August 24, Trump has managed to amass more than $7.1 million in donations for his potential future political endeavors.
