When Donald Trump faces his charges of attempted election interference in Georgia, the whole world will be able to watch live. Judge Scott McAfee decided on Thursday (local time) that the trial once morest the former US President would be streamed live on the Internet. The use of recording devices would “not disturb the administration of justice”.

The court will take over the transfer itself. “We have all our important procedures in one place Youtube channel provided by Fulton County streamed live, and our plan was to do the same in this case,” said the judge.
