Trump's legal team fights against cameras in court during arraignment.
Lawyers for former US President Donald Trump have opposed a request by media outlets to allow cameras in a Manhattan courtroom where he is set to be arraigned on criminal charges related to his then-lawyer's $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election. Trump's lawyers argued that the media request should be denied because it will create a circus-like atmosphere at the arraignment, raise unique security concerns, and is inconsistent with President Trump's presumption of innocence. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office did not take a position on whether the judge should allow cameras in the courtroom.
