That's a fair question, and I don't know the answer because I don't know the history of the rule. My guess would be the court itself, to keep what's supposed to be a formal proceeding from turning into a sideshow. Remember Judge Lance Ito? I imagine that he had quite an impressive future in front of him until the OJ trial was televised.

So far, Judge Scott McAfee in Atlanta has been defying the Ito Curse and getting high marks for his YouTube channel, but he hasn't had Trump himself in court yet. It's hard for me to imagine how justice can be served by televising Trump and Aileen Cannon mugging for the cameras, surrounded by highly classified documents.
