For weeks, public intrigue hinged on whether the Manhattan grand jury would indict. Even with the charges still sealed, interest now is turning to how Donald Trump will be processed for his expected criminal arraignment on Tuesday.
The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s arraignment turned down a formal request from news organizations to have TV cameras in his courtroom and granted journalists limited access to what he acknowledged was a “historic” proceeding.
A judge declined a request by news organizations to allow the use of cameras during the arraignment, but five still photographers will be permitted to take pictures before it starts.
The judge presiding on the case said he had taken into account whether coverage of the courtroom "would interfere with the fair administration of justice."
