New York lawmakers call for cameras to be allowed inside courtrooms ahead of Trump's arraignment
NEW YORK -- Ahead of former president Donald Trump's court appearance Tuesday, New York lawmakers are calling for cameras to be allowed inside courtrooms.
They're pushing for the passage of a newly proposed bill.
"The American public has the right to witness history, and the media has a duty and responsibility to share this trial with the world. I urge Governor Hochul and all the legislative leaders to take swift and decisive action to ensure our legislation is passed in the budget this week," said Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal.
Officials call the current law "outdated," adding New York is one of only two states, including Louisiana, that bans trial recordings.
