In March, Judicial Watch filed an opposition to the Justice Department's request to transfer the venue of the case to the District of Columbia. The organization pointed out that under federal law, a “civil action against the United States may be brought in any judicial district in which the plaintiff resides,” and “a civil action on a tort claim against the United States may be prosecuted in the judicial district where the plaintiff resides.”

Judicial Watch contends that Washington D.C. is a "hostile forum for January 6 defendants" and is already prejudicially biased against Ashli Babbitt. They argue that moving the case to D.C. could potentially undermine the pursuit of justice for Babbitt's family, leading to an unfair legal outcome.
