Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges in a revised federal election interference indictment and has waived his right to attend the arraignment. The superseding indictment, unsealed by Special Counsel Jack Smith, maintains the same charges while omitting references to Trump's official actions as president, in line with a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Trump's legal team plans to challenge Smith's appointment and to extend case proceedings into mid-to-late 2025 if necessary. A court conference is scheduled for Thursday to determine the future of the case. This legal battle continues to evolve as both sides prepare for upcoming hearings.
