"Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman denied a motion by various media companies to allow cameras inside of the federal courthouse in Miami, Florida, for former President Donald Trump's arraignment on Tuesday.
The late Monday filing by Goodman denied the argument by the media companies that the court appearance by Trump is a "special proceeding" and therefore regular rules on recording would be followed."

"The entire country is moving through uncharted territory, with the first-ever federal indictment of a former president of the United States playing out in Miami. Last week, a grand jury of Miami residents charged Donald Trump with 37 federal counts, ranging from the willful retention of national defense information to obstructing justice and making false statements. Given the historic and unprecedented nature of the case, it is clear that the public must be able to watch justice being done."
"Under current circumstances and guidelines, however, Americans will not be able to see this process unfold. Federal judges largely remain resistant to the idea of cameras inside courtrooms. And, even when cameras have been permitted, it has been for specific and narrowly tailored purposes, such as investitures, naturalizations, or other ceremonial proceedings. Those opposed to cameras in the courtroom believe allowing them could make lawyers more nervous or sway jurors."
