A judge presiding over Donald Trump’s arraignment in a Manhattan courthouse Tuesday afternoon has denied a request from several media outlets to allow cameras to cover live courtroom proceedings, according to court documents.

New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan said the court would allow a "limited number" of videographers, photographers, and radio journalists to be present but denied the motion to allow photos or live video during the court session.

In his ruling, Judge Merchan said he considered "all relevant factors" — which included whether the camera coverage would "interfere with the fair administration of justice… with law enforcement activity, the objections of the Defendant; and limitations related to the physical structure of the courtroom" — but ultimately denied the motion.

He ruled integrity of the court’s impartiality outweighed the "monumental significance" of the case and the "unparalleled public interest" it has generated.

Merchan went on to affirm that members of the media will be allowed to enter the courtroom, but electronic items like cell phones would not be permitted.

"The use of cell phones, laptops or any electronic devices will be strictly prohibited in the courtrooms. Any such devices will have to be turned off and secured outside of public view while in the courtrooms," he wrote.

In the ruling, Merchan said cameras could be used in the hallway of the building. He also approved the use of two overflow rooms for additional seating, which was another request from media members.

Trump landed in New York on Monday. His arraignment is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. Tuesday.

In his reasoning, Judge Merchan said Trump's arraignment has "unparalleled public interest and media attention" and "that this indictment involves a matter of monumental significance [that] cannot possibly be disputed."

"Never in the history of the United States has a sitting or past president been indicted on criminal charges," he added.

"The populace rightly hungers for the most accurate and current information available," Merchan continued. "To suggest otherwise would be disingenuous."

"Understandably, the News Organizations want to fulfill their responsibilities and argue that obtaining the broadest possible public access helps advance that mission. Unfortunately, although genuine and undoubtedly important, the interests of the News Organizations must be weighed against competing interests. This Court is now called upon to engage in that balancing exercise."

In the request, District Attorney Alvin Bragg, on behalf of the people of New York, argued the presence of cameras in the courtroom "raises a number of concerns."

Among those concerns included "the prejudicial impact of pretrial publicity on the jurors, the impact on the truthfulness of the witnesses, responsibilities placed on the trial judge to assure a fair trial and the impact on the [defendant]," court documents show.

Merchan was first appointed to the New York State Court of Claims by Democratic Gov. David Paterson in 2009. He then began serving as an acting justice on the New York Supreme Court that same year.

Trump is on trial for monetary payments made to two women during his successful 2016 presidential campaign. He has been charged with 34 felonies related to the payments.

A potential guilty verdict in the case would not prevent Trump from running for the White House in 2024. 

Three Tennessee state lawmakers, all Democrats, were pulled from their committee assignments and could face expulsion from the legislature after they participated in storming the state Capitol during a protest against guns following last week's school shooting.

Tennessee House Republicans voted Monday to strip committee assignments from state Reps. Justin Jones, Justin J. Pearson and Gloria Johnson, according to WPLN. 

A potential expulsion for the three lawmakers could come later this week.

The lawmakers joined anti-gun protestors in storming the Capitol last week after a 28-year-old transgender person opened fire inside the Covenant School in Nashville, which killed six people, including three children.

"Just handed this on the House floor, but they still have to vote," Jones said in a tweet after receiving the resolution for potential expulsion from the House of Representatives. "We’ll not be intimidated. THE PEOPLE are demanding we act to stop kids from being murdered in school."

Republican Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton wrote in a tweet that the lawmakers' participation in the protest was "unacceptable."

"Their actions are and will always be unacceptable, and they break several rules of decorum and procedure on the House floor," he said. "Their actions and beliefs that they could be arrested on the House floor were an effort, unfortunately, to make themselves the victims. In effect, those actions took away the voices of the protestors, the focus on the six victims who lost their lives, and the families who lost their loved ones."

Jones also said in a press conference Monday that Sexton is prioritizing politics over addressing the school shooting.

"We are members, who are standing in the well, telling our speakers and our colleagues that kids should not be murdered in school," Jones said. "And rather than address that issue, the speaker has spent more time on Twitter this weekend talking about a fake insurrection than he did about the deaths of six people including 9-year-old children."

Students Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all 9, were killed in the shooting along with the head of school Katherine Koonce, 60, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and custodian Mike Hill, 61.
