times has Trump lied? How many thousands of lawsuits has Trump been a part of? How many times has Trump denigrated judges, prosecutors, law enforcement institutions with no basis in fact? It is really reasonable to request venue changes for this type of alleged crime? How often has Trump requested venue changes? How often has Trump ignored and/or challenged court findings and norms? Is Trump's request fair? What are the qualifications of the DC judge assigned to the case?

Repeating these statements without ANY journalistic evaluation is not much different than Trump saying them in the first place. All viewers hear is one side wants to relocate, the other doesn't. Almost no information helpful to public discourse.
