NEW YORK–With opening statements starting today in the historic trial The People of
the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump (# 71543/2023), Chief Administrative Judge
Joseph A. Zayas and First Deputy Chief Administrative Judge Norman St. George
announced that trial transcripts will be available to the public on the court system’s
website at https://ww2.nycourts.gov/press/index.shtml. The court system is taking the
novel step of posting the daily transcripts of the trial proceedings on its public website–
which falls in line with its landmark innovations to publish online the court’s filings and
decisions, as well as the case exhibits–to ensure broad and continuous public access to
this extraordinarily high-profile case. A certified transcript of each day’s trial proceeding
will be posted online and publicly available before the end of the next business day.

“With current law restricting the broadcasting of trial proceedings and courtroom space
for public spectators very limited, the release of the daily transcripts on the court
system’s website is the best way to provide the public a direct view of the proceedings
in this historic trial,” said Chief Administrative Judge Zayas. “This measure is in the
interest of the public good and aligns with the court system’s commitment to judicial
transparency and its ongoing efforts to enhance public access to, and understanding of,
the courts and justice system.”

“This historic case, which has generated unparalleled public interest, calls for this
historic step by the court system. I am pleased to join Chief Administrative Judge Zayas
in announcing that the trial transcripts–providing a word-for-word account of the
proceedings–will be posted daily on our website, giving the public ready access to the
full, accurate court record. This will serve to enhance public understanding of the trial
with minimum disruption to the courtroom proceedings,” said First Deputy Chief
Administrative Judge St. George.
