What the cameras aren’t showing us The video feed of the trial is controlled by the Senate Recording Studio. C-SPAN asked Mitch McConnell for permission to bring in its own cameras because the existing setup “provides a restricted
view of Senate floor debates”, but the Senate majority leader did not respond, the New Yorker reports.During votes is just about the only time we get to see Senators during this impeachment trial unfortunately. The Senate cameras stay on the dais and the arguments.
As a result, people at home can’t catch a glimpse of Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s bright yellow boots, or hear what lawmakers are whispering to each other in between presentations. We can’t see the expression on Lisa
Murkowski’s face or snoop on what Marco Rubio is scribbling in his notebook TV camera crews are also restricted outside the Senate chamber — reporters aren’t allowed to approach senators directly outside.
Some news organizations have commissioned courtroom sketch artists to capture what the cameras aren’t showing.
