Exactly my first question this morning...Can the trials be moved to another state?
And not a Deep Blue state.
Not if the crime is committed in Washington DC. You have to be prosecuted in the judicial district where the crime was committed.
Maybe but not easily. US Constitution says criminal trials SHALL be conducted in the state the crime took place. Defendant may have the power to remove on account of the local venue being biased.

All the other trials will be in other jurisdictions, and jurisdictions favorable to Durham’s team of prosecutors.
Thus was just one trial and it occurred in D.C. This verdict really doesn’t mean anything. The conspiracy trials is were the real action will take place; and Durham has plenty of venues that will be very favorable to the prosecution.
