In a modified prosecution accusing him of trying to reverse his 2020 election fight, former US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he would plead not guilty to legal costs.
Trump, who is also running for president, submitted a one-page submitting to the best court on Tuesday, stating that he, along with the defendants listed above, “do now waive my right to be current at hearings and I accept my attorneys to provide a plea of not guilty on my behalf for each and every count of the superseding indictment.” According to CNN, he also stated that he wanted to be excused from a personal appearance at the future court hearing involving the case.
Following Special Counsel Jack Smith’s filing of a superseding indictment in the Trump election meddling case, this was a reaction.
All four of the initial charges are still present in the updated accusation against the former president. However, the updated document has taken away some of Trump’s alleged actions, especially those that relate to his claims that his false allegations of political misconduct were being made public through the justice department.
Despite the changes to the prosecution, the prosecution is still trying to prosecute the former president. The claims against Trump are still brought up, which shows how serious they are.
Trump confirmed in a statement that the judge filing, which was submitted on Tuesday, that he had received a version of the superseding indictment and had reviewed it with his legal counsel. The US Supreme Court will hold its first judge hearing on Thursday before Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine the extent of Trump’s political immunity to which he is entitled since the case was halted.
Judge Chutkan afterwards confirmed that Trump’s occurrence is not required at Thursday’s reading, during which his official trial will take place. Trump’s lawyers plan to attend the hearing on his behest. According to CNN, Chutkan will have to make decisions regarding how to proceed with the legal case, including setting a deadline, determining whether lawyers can bring Trump to test and calling certain witnesses, such as previous Vice President Mike Pence, as the presiding judge of the DC District Court.
In lighting of the Supreme Court ruling, prosecutors have dropped some of the claims against the former president, but Trump still faces the same four legal fees as before in the new accusation, which was approved by a grand jury last year.
