This is the best summary I could come up with:

Donald Trump's trial in Georgia over charges of election fraud will be livestreamed and televised, a judge has ruled.

All the hearings will be available live on Fulton County Court's YouTube channel, said Judge Scott McAfee.

Mr Trump and 18 people are charged with a conspiracy to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results.

Mr Trump briefly travelled to Atlanta last week to turn himself in at Fulton County Jail and have his mugshot taken.

Prosecutors allege that he pressured Georgia officials to reverse the results of the election in the state, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

The former New York real estate tycoon is the current frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and his mounting legal problems have done nothing to dent his popularity among his supporters.
