Trump faces four criminal proceedings, including a trial set for March on charges of attempting to defraud the government and obstructing Congress by knowingly spreading false claims of election fraud.

In the late Friday filing, Trump argued that prosecutors want the trial held “in darkness” as part of what he claims is a politically motivated effort by President Joe Biden’s administration to undermine his bid for re-election next year.

In his latest filing by his lawyers, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, Trump endorsed requests by media organizations that U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan allow live television coverage of the trial.

“Every person in America, and beyond, should have the opportunity to study this case firsthand and watch as, if there is a trial, President Trump exonerates himself of these baseless and politically motivated charges,” said the filing.

    since they’re cult zombies who are too far gone to be reachable, that means we can safely ignore what they think. we should turn our focus to the people who can still be reached instead and let the trump cultists cling to the trumptanic until it’s finally over (most likely outcome: death by old age in prison) and maybe then we’ll check back. until then, just assume everyone who still supports trump will continue to do so out of sheer loyalty until the bitter end and move on
