TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has called for his federal case, charging him with attempting to overturn the 2020 election, to be moved out of Washington, D.C., citing bias against him. Trump expressed hope that the case would be relocated to a politically unbiased venue such as West Virginia. He argued that it would be impossible for him to receive a fair trial in D.C. due to his calls for a federal takeover of the district. Trump's arraignment is scheduled to take place in D.C., where security measures have been heightened. He now faces major criminal charges in two federal cases, both brought by federal prosecutor Jack Smith.
