The Judicial Conference, the policymaking body behind U.S. federal courts, effectively rejected calls by nearly 40 House Democrats on Tuesday after they asked it to consider allowing live broadcasts of Trump's two upcoming federal criminal trials.

The new rules will "permit judges presiding over civil and bankruptcy cases to provide the public live audio access to non-trial proceedings that do not involve witness testimony," according to a press release. It furthered that "The change approved Tuesday does not extend to criminal proceedings."
