New York Courts to Release Transcripts of Trump’s Hush Money Trial
New York Courts have announced that they will be posting the transcripts of Donald Trump’s historic hush money trial online and publicly available. The transcripts will be posted daily before the end of the following business day to ensure broad public access to this highly publicized case.
The trial proceedings are not broadcast, and space in the courtroom is limited, making the transcripts the best way for the public to follow the trial. The court’s decision to release the transcripts aligns with its commitment to judicial transparency and enhancing public access to the courts and justice system.
Court stenographers typically charge per page for high-profile trials, sometimes earning thousands of dollars per day. However, the New York Daily News editorial board and other news outlets have advocated for the release of the transcripts.
The release of the transcripts ensures that the public has access to the proceedings of this important trial. It allows individuals to follow the trial and understand the evidence and arguments presented. This transparency is essential for maintaining public trust in the justice system and ensuring that the trial is conducted fairly and impartially.
