Former President Donald Trump.AP Photo/Evan Vucci Trump's legal team is looking to move the New York criminal inquiry from Manhattan to Staten Island, per Bloomberg. Trump's team has not yet made a decision, as they're looking to review the indictment next week. Manhattan is one of the bluest jurisdictions in the country, while Staten Island leans Republican. Former President Donald Trump's defense team is considering asking to move his criminal trial to more conservative-leaning Staten Island, fearing that the former president wouldn't be able to receive a fair trial in Manhattan, according to Bloomberg.Trump's attorneys have not yet determined their final course of action on the matter, however, and are looking to first review the charges in the indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr., an unnamed source told the news agency.Bragg's office on Thursday indicted Trump following an investigation related to hush-money payments made to the adult film actress Stormy Daniels in advance of the 2016 presidential election.Trump, who has long decried the investigation as a "witch hunt" and attacked Bragg over the criminal inquiry, is set to be arraigned Tuesday in Manhattan.The request in itself would have a veneer of politics, as Manhattan — or New York County — is one of the most Democratic-heavy jurisdictions in the country.
