Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges in a revised election interference indictment. His attorney, John Lauro, confirmed this at the first hearing after the Supreme Court granted Trump immunity from criminal charges. Federal prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers are in court to discuss how to move forward with the case that charges Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Meanwhile, Trump’s team is questioning the legality of the special counsel’s appointment and seeking to dismiss the case based on the Supreme Court’s immunity decision.
In the lead-up to the upcoming US presidential election, Russian President Vladimir Putin joked that he was supporting Kamala Harris, drawing a response from the White House to stop talking about US elections. Additionally, Hunter Biden is set to begin his second federal trial this year, facing charges of failing to pay taxes and filing a false tax return.
Republican lawmakers like Liz Cheney have publicly stated that they will not be supporting Trump in the election, joining a growing list of Republicans who plan to vote against him. Trump’s campaign has faced challenges in battleground states like New Hampshire, prompting a shift in focus to states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
As the election approaches, both Trump and Harris have accepted the rules for the upcoming presidential debate, including having their mics muted when the other candidate is speaking. Harris will head to Pittsburgh to prepare for the high-stakes debate, while Trump will deliver remarks in New York and virtually address the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas.
