Cameras in the Georgia courtroom

The state judge overseeing former President Trump’s Georgia case ruled that cameras will be allowed in the courtroom for the defendants’ arraignments, marking the first time that one of Trump’s criminal proceedings will be televised.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Tuesday granted a request from four local television stations to bring in live cameras and other recording devices in his courtroom through Sept. 8.

Hey, it'll be a great fundraiser for him.
McAfee’s order does not indicate whether cameras will be allowed during a trial or any other future proceedings in the case.
Perhaps it depends on how this first bit goes.
Willis has given a Friday deadline for the defendants to surrender, although that process is being conducted at the Fulton County Jail, separate from any arraignments. Trump has said he will surrender Thursday.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
