A Gentler Trump in Georgia Signals a Shift in Strategy
The former president appears to be taking a different approach than the combative one he has adopted at the District of Columbia.

President Trumpâs decision to pass on trying to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court suggests that he sees it as so forbidding that he is willing to chance his liberty at Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold. It also could herald a bespoke litigation strategy in the Deep South, even as the first Peach Tree State defendant, Scott Hall, has plead guilty and will now cooperate with prosecutors.
The decision, at least with regard to venue, to forego further litigation â a restraint that does not rhyme with the former presidentâs legal modus operandiâ suggests that Mr. Trump could be trying a different strategy in the Peach Tree State than at the District of Columbia, where his January 6 trial has been marked by confrontation with judge and prosecutor alike.
