Donald Trump says he boycotted last week’s arraignment in Georgia on election interference charges to protest in-court camera coverage of his upcoming trial.

The former president claimed in a fundraising email that he was infuriated by Fulton County judge Scott McAfee’s decision to allow all hearings and a possible trial to be broadcast on the court’s YouTube channel.

“Why would I fly down to Atlanta just to hear over a dozen FALSE CHARGES brought against me on live TV?” Mr Trump wrote in a message to supporters obtained by the New York Post pleading for more money.

    And we all knew exactly what he’d say about the election results as soon as he said that…

      I thought we all knew he always says whatever he thinks he could benefit from at any give time, no matter if he believes it or not. No matter if it’s the exact opposite of what he said two seconds ago.
