A Florida court has turned off its wifi in an attempt to block live reporting of a hearing concerning former President Donald Trump, a journalist has said.
“Bad news friends. Florida court is turning wi-fi off to block the media from reporting the Trump hearing in real-time,” Justice Department reporter Sarah Lynch of the Reuters news agency tweeted on Thursday. “This truly sucks and I don’t understand it. We do this in DC District Court all the time. It makes courts accessible to the public. I am beyond annoyed.”
She added: “I am told texting during the hearing is also BANNED. So our reporter inside the courthouse cannot transmit what happens until this is over.”
