Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty in the sprawling Fulton County election interference case, according to a new court filing.

Trump had been scheduled to be arraigned in person on Wednesday. Georgia law allows criminal defendants to waive their in-person appearance and enter a formal plea through court filings.

His arraignment marks the fourth time that Trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges since leaving the presidency. In this case, Trump is charged with racketeering in his alleged efforts to upend the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

    Just the recorded call is enough evidence. And that’s like the most we know from what the prosecutors have. So yeah, fingers crossed the MF lives long enough to be poor paying lawyers and get a huge sentence.

      The government (State or Fed) never goes after anyone of this magnitude unless it’s a Darryl Dawkins type slam dunk.

      Meh, even if the stress kills him before he sees his day in court, I’ll be okay with it. Anything to get DeSatan on the ballot is fine by me. Cause once that happens Biden is all but guaranteed a second term.
