Former President Trump's legal team entered a not guilty plea on his behalf in federal court in Washington, D.C., related to charges from special counsel Jack Smith's new indictment. The plea was made after the Supreme Court ruled that a president is immune from prosecution for official acts while in office.
During the status hearing before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, Trump did not appear in court, but his lawyers submitted the not guilty plea. Trump signed a document authorizing his attorneys to enter the plea and waived his right to be present at the arraignment.
