Donald Trump is to plead not guilty to the charges in a revised indictment accusing him of seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, according to a court filing on Sept. 3.

Trump, in a filing with the U.S. District Court in Washington, waived his right to be present at his arraignment on the charges and instructed his attorneys to plead not guilty.

Just ten weeks before the US presidential election, former President Donald Trump faces new legal troubles. Special prosecutor Jack Smith has filed a fresh indictment against Trump, accusing him of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. This indictment brings the total number of charges against Trump to four.

U.S. President Joe Biden warned Monday that the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling on presidential immunity sets a "dangerous precedent" that Donald Trump would exploit if elected in November.

Trump has been accused of inciting riots at the U.S. Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the result after he lost the 2020 US election. The Trump campaign said the Colorado ruling was "wrong" and would appeal to the US Supreme Court.
It comes after a Colorado court, all of whose judges were appointed by Democratic governors, removed Trump from the state's presidential race.

In a landmark decision that could resonate nationwide, the Colorado Supreme Court has excluded former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 presidential ballot. Citing the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban," the court ruled 4-3, deeming Trump ineligible as a presidential candidate, CNN reported.

An appeals court in Colorado on Tuesday ruled Donald Trump cannot appear on the state's presidential primary ballot because of his involvement in the attack on the Capitol in January 2021.

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday and sought to sever his case from some other defendants who are accused along with him of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Former President Donald Trump faced new charges Thursday in a case accusing him of illegally possessing classified documents, with prosecutors alleging that he asked a staffer to delete camera footage at his Florida estate in an effort to obstruct a federal investigation into the records.

Former US president Donald Trump said Tuesday he expected to be charged over the January 6 attack on the US Capitol -- an indictment that would ramp up his legal woes as he makes another White House run.
