“Lawyers entered a not guilty plea on behalf of former President Trump in federal court in Washington, D.C., Thursday related to charges from special counsel Jack Smith’s new indictment after the Supreme Court ruled a president is immune from prosecution for official acts in office. Trump did not appear in court Thursday, but his lawyers entered a not guilty plea during the status hearing before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan. According to a court filing obtained by Fox News, Trump signed an entry of not guilty plea. In the document, filed on Tuesday, Trump also waived his right to be present at his arraignment. … The case pertains to Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.” (09/05/24)
