Jill Wine-Banks: Put cameras in court for Trump's federal trials

As one of the prosecutors in the Watergate obstruction of justice trial including then-President Nixon as an alleged co-conspirator, I know the value of the public seeing the testimony and evidence themselves — as they did in the Ervin Committee hearings.

Now it’s time for cameras to capture the two upcoming federal trials of former president Trump on serious felony charges in which all Americans’ right to have all votes counted and our national security are at issue. Televising his trials would go a long way toward public understanding of the evidence, valuing the justice system and accepting the verdicts — whatever they are.
