Trump pleads not guilty to Georgia election subversion

Published

on

The Georgia case is Trump’s fourth indictment.

 
Former U.S. President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to a Georgia criminal indictment accusing him of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat and asked to be tried separately from some of his 18 co-defendants.

Fulton County indicted Trump in August on 13 felony counts, including racketeering, for pressuring state officials to reverse his 2020 election loss in the state and allegedly setting up a fake slate of electors to undermine the congressional certification of Democratic President Joe Biden’s victory.

“As evidenced by my signature below, I do hereby waive formal arraignment and enter my plea of NOT GUILTY to the Indictment in this case,” Trump said in a court filing in Fulton County Superior Court.

The plea means that Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination, will not appear in person in court next week to face the charges.

Trump’s lawyers also asked the judge to sever his case from some of his co-defendants who have sought a speedy trial in the case. This would put Trump’s case on a different schedule from that of his co-defendant, Kenneth Chesebro, a lawyer for Trump’s 2020 campaign, who is set to go to trial beginning in October.

Trump’s lawyers argued that they did not have sufficient time to prepare for the October trial date set for Chesebro.

Fulton County prosecutors are seeking an October start to the trial. Some of Trump’s co-defendants in Georgia, including attorney Sidney Powell, Trevian Kutti and Ray Smith, have also waived formal arraignment and entered not guilty pleas.

The 98-page Georgia indictment filed in mid-August charges Trump and 18 other defendants with a total of 41 criminal counts. #DonaldTrump #USpolitics #2024election #Republicans

PM Keir Starmer faces pressure over Epstein links and party unrest, with approval at 20% amid resignation calls.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under intense political pressure as he risks becoming the first UK leader linked to the Epstein scandal. His approval rating has plummeted to just 20 percent, leaving him vulnerable to criticism from within Labour and raising fresh questions about his leadership.

The party has faced further turbulence following the resignation of Peter Mandelson, who stepped down amid revelations over his ambassadorial appointment and an ongoing police investigation. This latest development has intensified scrutiny on Labour’s senior figures and added to concerns about instability at the top.

Opposition from Labour lawmakers continues to grow, with increasing calls for Starmer to resign despite support from cabinet members. Many fear that a leadership challenge could deepen divisions within the party and create wider economic uncertainty.

Protesters clashed with police in Sydney, resulting in 27 arrests amid tensions over Israeli President Herzog’s visit.

Tensions flared in Sydney on Thursday as protesters clashed with police during a rally opposing the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Authorities arrested 27 people, including 10 accused of assaulting officers, after crowds attempted to breach barricades near the city.

Hundreds of police were deployed to enforce new protest restrictions, introduced following recent violent demonstrations, and pepper spray was used as officers tried to maintain order. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried signs condemning the ongoing conflict in Gaza, voicing anger over the timing of Mr Herzog’s visit.

The unrest highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding international politics and local security measures, with authorities balancing the right to protest against public safety concerns.

Australia’s Liberal and National parties have agreed to restore their historic Coalition partnership after a three-week split, marking their second reconciliation in under a year. The deal ensures stability ahead of upcoming political challenges.

Under the agreement, Nationals frontbenchers will return to the shadow cabinet by March 1. This move signals a return to unified leadership as both parties aim to present a stronger front in parliament.

As part of the compromise, three senators who broke party solidarity during a recent vote face a six-week suspension. All shadow ministers will also sign an agreement to uphold cabinet unity and prevent future splits.
