Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty via a paper filing on Friday to the second round of charges brought against him in a superseding indictment in his classified documents case. In doing so, he waived a court appearance in Fort Pierce scheduled for Aug. 10
Former President Donald Trump removed the need to fly to Florida next week when he pleaded not guilty Friday in a paper filing to three new charges brought against him in a superseding indictment related to his handling of classified documents after he left office.
In doing so, he waived a court appearance in Fort Pierce that was scheduled for Aug. 10 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard.
Trump, 77, personally appeared in a U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to plead not guilty to a third federal indictment brought against him by prosecutors. The long-awaited indictment brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, whose office also brought the documents case, alleges the former president orchestrated an illegal attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to President Joe Biden.
