Defendants facing felony criminal charges with 90% hostile jury pool, like Trump, need no change of venue. But O. J. Simpson, different story.

Assuming you refer to the J6 trial in DC, to where do you presume to change the venue to, and remain in DC?
Amendment VI "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law...."
But O. J. Simpson, different story.
The O.J. case was filed in downtown Los Angeles and not moved. O.J. was acquitted. The prosecution was absolutely dreadful, except when recounted by the talking heads on nightly tv. In court, it was one disaster after another.
The O.J. trial was held in a Los Angeles County Court where DA Gil Garcetti chose to file it. Had it been held in Santa Monica (also in LA county), the jury pool selection would still have been county-wide. Also, the jury was empanelled with the prosecution holding 10 unused peremptory challenges.
