This week on
Trump's Trials, host
Scott Detrow and
Domenico Montanaro are joined by NPR Justice Correspondent
Carrie Johnson. We focus on the January 6th federal election interference case led by special counsel Jack Smith. The case is scheduled to go to trial in March in Washington, D.C., and it might be coming to a TV near you.
Yes, Trump and some media outlets are requesting cameras in the courtroom. We'll talk about how likely that is, how it could impact the case and the campaign, plus some news from a couple of key swing states.
Topics include:
- How televising the trial could help and hurt Trump
- The Trump team's attempts to delay the trial
- Prosecution and defense strategies for the federal election interference case
- Trump's attempts to invoke presidential immunity
- Pro-Trump electors from Wisconsin admit President Biden won the 2020 election
- Pro-Trump electors criminally indicted in Nevada over attempts to overturn Biden's 2020 win
