Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he will plead not guilty to criminal charges in a revised indictment accusing him of obstructing the 2020 election results. In a court filing, Trump authorized his attorneys to enter the not guilty plea on his behalf, waiving his right to appear in person at the arraignment.
The revised indictment, filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith, narrows the allegations but retains the original four charges. This change follows a Supreme Court ruling granting Trump immunity from prosecution related to his actions as president during the 2020 election but not those taken as a candidate. Prosecutors and Trump’s legal team are set to appear in court on Thursday to discuss next steps.–News Desk
