Several hosts of The View expressed interest in having former President Donald Trump's federal case for his third indictment be aired live on television, as his "MAGA cult" will not believe "anything."
On Tuesday, Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on four new charges related to the Jan. 6 protest on Capitol Hill in 2021 and alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Co-host Joy Behar claimed on Wednesday that it is important that Trump's trial be aired on television, though she noted that a rule forbids cameras in federal courts.

"This is an important thing to televise because the MAGA cult is not going to believe anything," she said.
Co-host Sunny Hostin stated that while cameras are not allowed in federal courts, exceptions could be made, and agreed with Behar that the public should see the trial.
"And I think if I were the prosecutors in this case, I would make that very, very argument," Hostin said. "This is an exceptional case. This is something we've never seen before."
Trump has been ordered to appear in a Washington district court on Thursday, and will appear in front of Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya for his arraignment. He is expected to plead not guilty to all four charges. It comes after he was already indicted twice for other charges earlier this year.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) denounced the latest indictment, saying it was a "sad day for the rule of law." He also speculated that the indictment was meant to distract from his committee's investigation into alleged corruption by President Joe Biden and his family.

In the wake of the indictment, Trump thanked his supporters on Wednesday and claimed that the indictment had "awoken the world to the corruption, scandal, & failure that has taken place in the United States for the past three years.
