Haberman: Cameras Needed In Court Or Trump Will Lie

“There is a compelling public interest argument to make. It is absolutely true that New York is really regressive in terms of cameras in the courtroom. I do expect there’ll be an argument made. I’m not sure what the ruling will be on that. One of the things we saw over and over – both with Michael Cohen, in terms of Trump, and then other people, in the White House – people have a habit of taping Donald Trump.

“And they have a habit of taping Donald Trump because he spins his own reality and will contradict whatever people say about him. A camera would be pretty vital in terms of people understanding what happened and not being told that something is fake news.

“And in an era where Trump is saying that all of these reports are not true, I think there is a compelling argument for it. I am skeptical that it will happen. I covered courts in the state. I know how against cameras in the courtroom judges are here.” – Maggie Haberman.
