And cameras aren't allowed in federal trials. That's the real crime here.

Cameras not being allowed is actually really good in this case. Using a court hearing as a campaign event isn't how things should be done

Beer Hall Putsch

The putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German nation for the first time and generated front-page headlines in newspapers around the world. His arrest was followed by a 24-day trial, which was widely publicised and gave him a platform to express his nationalist sentiments to the nation. Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison,[note 2] where he dictated Mein Kampf to fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released.[4][5]

I feel like there should be a video recording of the proceedings, but that it should be sealed until after the verdict and sentencing.

Honestly I'd be happy with court transcripts at this point.

Oh we'll definitely get to see those, also probably after the case is all wrapped up, but video carries a lot more information, especially when you're talking about a shriveled carrot swinger like Trump.
