Donald Trump indicted: Judge Aileen Cannon rejects request for electronics in Florida courtroom
Kaelan Deese
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon rejected a request by the media on Tuesday to bring electronic devices inside the courtroom amid calls for heightened transparency over former President Donald Trump's legal cases.
Attorneys for Trump and co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira are slated to appear Thursday morning in Florida federal court to enter pleas to new charges added on July 27 to an indictment in the classified documents case. Trump has signaled he would skip his hearing at the Alto Lee Adams Sr. United States Courthouse.
Media organizations had asked permission in an Aug. 7 filing to use their electronic devices to "take notes and to transmit text during the hearing, permitting these organizations to report on the proceedings in real time."
Cannon responded on Wednesday in a paperless order, denying the request.
