Former president and U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to attempting to invalidate his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, Reuters reported.Trump's lawyers filed a statement on his behalf at the start of a court hearing in Washington, D.C., that focuses on how the trial can proceed since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that former presidents are immune from criminal prosecution. Trump himself did not attend the hearing.The new indictment contains the same four counts as the one obtained last year by special prosecutor Jack Smith, but it excludes charges that the Supreme Court said could not remain part of the case.U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is expected to consider proposals from Smith, who is seeking to move the case forward, and Trump, who is pushing for a delay in action until after the election. The Supreme Court has tasked Chutkan with deciding whether any other parts of the case should be overturned.Trump faces four felony charges that he used false claims of election fraud to undermine the election and prevent confirmation of his defeat of Democratic President Joe Biden.
