Calling on the Judicial Conference of the United States to authorize that the trial of former President Donald J. Trump for his alleged crimes related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection be broadcast to the American public.
HRES 644 is a House resolution calling on the Judicial Conference of the United States to authorize public broadcasting of Donald Trump's upcoming trial. The trial relates to alleged crimes connected to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. This resolution requests but does not require the Judicial Conference to make the trial proceedings publicly accessible. It is a procedural measure, not a law altering any legal process.
