Grand jury in *Florida* to hear document case against Trump

 Interesting that the special counsel has chosen Florida instead of D.C.  From NBC:

A federal grand jury will meet this week in Florida to hear evidence in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

It is not clear how the court proceedings in Florida relate to the work of a separate grand jury in Washington, where prosecutors had been presenting evidence and witness testimony for months. The development was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Why prosecutors are using multiple grand juries, and whether they are ready to seek an indictment in either jurisdiction is unknown. The Justice Department declined to comment on the investigation.

Where does the Florida grand jury sit?

Gotta be Southern District of Florida, where Mar A Lago is located.
