Judge Aileen Cannon is asking the Justice Department and Donald Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta to weigh in on the legality of special counsel Jack Smith’s ongoing grand jury activity in Washington, DC, which relates to the obstruction portion of the Mar-a-Lago documents case before her in Florida.
If she dismisses because it has to be filed in DC…they can just file in DC, get a more favorable judge, and have a great reason for why the court must reject Trump’s inevitable change of venue request.
Florida was only picked to avoid change-of-venue requests. It’s not like there is nowhere to legally charge this case.
