Trump Pleads Not Guilty In Federal Election Interference Case as Special Counsel Jack Smith Renews Charges

Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty in his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C. He chose to waive his right to appear at the arraignment on a superseding indictment issued by a grand jury last week. The updated indictment, requested by Special Counsel Jack Smith, charges Trump with the same four counts as the original case. The indictment was revised to align with a Supreme Court ruling that clarified Trump’s claims of presidential immunity.
