Trump's lawyers are terrified of what he'll say if cameras are allowed in the court: analyst

Raw Story  

Reporters are trying to ask New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Manuel Merchan, the officer presiding over former President Donald Trump's arraignment tomorrow, to waive a state law that forbids cameras from the courtroom. That's for very good reason from their perspective, argued political analyst Gloria Borger on CNN Monday, as their client is a loose cannon who plays to the cameras and has already publicly attacked the judge himself. "What do you make of the Trump team's arguing against broadcasting Trump's arraignment tomorrow?" The lawyers, Borger, argued, are "probably a little bit afraid" of what would happen with a televised Trump arraignment, "because A) they don't know what's going to go on in the courtroom, and B) they don't know how their client is going to behave or what their client is going to say."
