Donald Trump's request for TV cameras to cover his election inference trial contains nothing but "false and incendiary claims," prosecutors have submitted in court.
Trump joined with NBC and other networks in fighting to allow TV cameras into his trial, which is due to begin on March 4, 2024.
In a filing to Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, Department of Justice attorney James Pearce said that Trump's submission "did not engage with the relevant Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure or cite any applicable case law, and instead made false and incendiary claims about the administration of his criminal case, United States v. Trump."
Pearce wrote that he was submitting the response on behalf of Jack Smith, the chief prosecutor.
Pearce was replying to a filing by Trump's lawyers on Friday in which they state that "President Trump absolutely agrees, and in fact demands, that these proceedings should be fully televised."
Trump's lawyers also accuse Smith of trying to "proceed in secret" through the trial and said that Trump is being treated "unfairly" by the Biden administration.
The former president was indicted on four counts in August for allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the violent January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.
