Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to charges in a revised election interference indictment. His attorney, John Lauro, confirmed the plea in court today. The federal prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers are in court discussing how to proceed with the case after the Supreme Court granted him immunity from criminal charges.
Judge Tanya Chutkan is overseeing the case in Washington DC, where discussions are ongoing regarding the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith and the immunity decision. Trump’s lawyers are arguing that they should file a motion to dismiss based on the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling. The prosecution is also making their case in court.
In a separate trial, Hunter Biden is facing federal tax charges in Los Angeles. This is his second trial this year after being convicted on felony gun charges in June. The trial begins with jury selection, where Biden is accused of failing to pay taxes on time between 2016 and 2019.
In related news, Republican officials like Liz Cheney are endorsing Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, adding to a growing list of Republicans voting against Trump. As Trump navigates legal battles and campaign efforts, his path to victory in the upcoming election seems to be narrowing. Trump has scaled back his campaigning efforts in certain states, focusing more on key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
