Former President Trump's lawyer suggested on Sunday that his client's team would be open to moving a trial to a venue outside of Manhattan as Trump has suggested due to the borough being a "stronghold of liberalism." "The issue with venue is that Manhattan is like 87 percent pro-Joe Biden the last election," Jim Trusty, Trump's lawyer, said on ABC's "This Week." "It's a real stronghold of liberalism, of activism, and that infects the whole process." The comments from Trusty, pointing to the fact that President Biden won Manhattan with 86.7 percent of the vote in 2020, continue a line of contention brought by Trump himself. Trump last week became the first sitting or former president to face criminal charges, accused of 34 felony counts related to the falsification of business records in connection to alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and others ahead of the 2016 election. |
