      Trump mostly caused those issues though. He talks about these things constantly. Then argues the trial cannot start because there’s too much attention.

      Further, there is a pre selection. The judge rejected loads of people beforehand.

        Hmm. That might actually be a valid legal strategy. I’m not sure that the fact that the defendant caused the problem actually takes away their protections.

        Honestly, Trump is so globally visible that I don’t know how you’d remedy that, though. A change of venue isn’t going to change anything.
