"Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) reacts to Trump's third indictment and says the case needs to be moved out of D.C"
No defence offered. But I'm pretty sure they told DeSantis at Harvard Law that criminal cases are tried in the jurisdiction the crime occurred. Unless there's good reason for a change of venue, which they don't have. But why do you think the Repug's think it's "fair" for one trial to be in a very pro-Trump biased court and not fair if a trial is in a court that may not be favorable to him? A person wanting justice would want the most neutral court they could find.

Trump lawyers have suggested West Virginia because it's more diverse (really).

Diversely white and uneducated
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
It's really interesting (and scary) reading responses to Trumps indictment by leaders and news media that support him. I seem to recall that in the past excuses would at least be somewhat believable. Now it's all straight falsehoods or blatant omissions. The indictment is really easy reading. But most supporters won't crack it open. Hence the reason it's so easy for these people to spread falsehoods.
One user on X (the name of Twitter’s rebrand), @ChidiNwatu, noted that Graham – along with 94 other senators – voted to confirm Chutkan in 2014.
Opps.
Several other active GOP senators also voted to confirm Chutkan including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has criticized her over the case. He said on his podcast that she has a “reputation for being far left” and argued that people can anticipate her being “relentlessly hostile” to the former president.
Cruz, in a social media post, sarcastically wrote that a report on Chutkan’s donations to former President Barack Obama’s campaign and victory fund was “comforting.”
The donations in question go back to at least two years before Cruz’ “yea” vote for the judge, Federal Election Commission data reveals.
Other X users mocked the South Carolina Republican over his take on the case....

If they want to move the 1/6 trial out of DC because the judge is allegedly anti-Trump & the jury may be too, then they should also advocate for moving the classified documents trial out of Florida where the judge is pro-Trump & the jury may be too. Or, they should just be quiet.
Can all defendants pick their judges and ‘friendly’ venues?

... The organization said the video is part of a six-figure ad campaign to run on Fox News nationally, as well as in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin over the next week, including on “Hannity” and “Fox & Friends.”
The Republican Accountability Project has been running videos online and on TV against Trump and some of his biggest enablers in Congress.
