The financial capital of the world .... is typically where financial crimes are prosecuted.That's exactly the point. The Hunter case gives the appearance of being an honest judicial proceeding, whereas the Trump case was transparently leftist lawfare. Seven years of investigation to turn bookkeeping fudges into 34 felonies on a "novel legal theory". At the very least they should have changed the venue.
And after all NY was Trump's home base for decades, until he changed the tax code that is, and just like that - became a Florida resident.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
