"Trump's Not Guilty Plea: The 2020 Election Charges Unfold"

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty after being arrested and arraigned on four charges related to conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election and the Capitol riot. The indictment also mentioned six unnamed co-conspirators. Trump criticized the case as "fake" and called for it to be moved out of Washington DC. The next hearing is scheduled for August 28. In response to the indictment, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley expressed fatigue with commenting on Trump's dramas, while former President Barack Obama warned President Joe Biden about Trump's strength in the GOP. The parents of a Capitol police officer who died during the riots said Trump has "blood on his hands." Florida Governor Ron DeSantis claimed a DC jury would convict a Republican "ham sandwich," and Trump's 2024 campaign started selling $47 T-shirts commemorating the indictment. A GOP senator who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial said the indictment showed Trump's active role in instigating the chaos.
