New York Courts to release daily transcripts from Trump hush money trial

• New York courts typically do not allow video or audio to be streamed from the courtrooms, meaning any insight into the proceedings has so far come from reporters providing live updates from inside.

Driving the news: "With current law restricting the broadcasting of trial proceedings and courtroom space for public spectators very limited, the release of the daily transcripts on the court system's website is the best way to provide the public a direct view of the proceedings in this historic trial," chief administrative judge Joseph Zayas said in a news release.

• Releasing the transcripts is "in the interest of the public good and aligns with the court system's commitment to judicial transparency," Zayas added.

The big picture: A number of lawyers had argued for the release of the transcripts, given the public interest in the case and restrictions on live-streaming or broadcasting the proceedings.

• Trump's Georgia 2020 election interference case is expected to be the only one of his four criminal trials to be televised.
