Former President Donald Trump has entered a plea of not guilty in the Georgia election interference case and waived his right to appear at his arraignment, according to a filing this morning.

The former president and 18 others were charged earlier this month in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia.

The former president has said his actions were not illegal and that the investigation is politically motivated.

Several other defendants have also pleaded not guilty and waived their right to appear at arraignment, which a judge has scheduled or Sept. 6.
