Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to four federal charges stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump was indicted on Tuesday as part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump's efforts to reverse the election leading up to the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
He was charged with these four counts:
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States
- Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
- Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding
- Conspiracy against rights
Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya asked Trump how he pleaded to counts 1-4 in the indictment.
“How does Mr. Trump plead?” she asked.
“Not guilty,” Trump said.
