Former US President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to the revised indictment in the federal case on attempted election fraud. The indictment was adapted by Special Counsel Jack Smith following the Supreme Court's decision granting immunity to Trump for certain official acts.
The new indictment includes charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding. Trump's lawyers entered the plea on his behalf, and he waived the reading of the charges.
The indictment stems from allegations that Trump attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election against Democrat Joe Biden, which led to the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump's supporters violently breached the seat of parliament as he tried to convert his loss into a victory.
Trump describes the legal actions against him as a 'political witch hunt.'
