Donald Trump pleads not guilty to federal charges that he tried to overturn 2020 election

It's the third criminal case filed against Trump this year, but the first to try to hold him criminally responsible for his efforts to cling to power in the weeks between his election loss and the Capitol attack that stunned the world as it unfolded live on TV.
Former U.S. president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday, August 3, 2023 to trying to overturn the results of his 2020 presidential election loss, answering for the first time to federal charges that accuse him of orchestrating a brazen and ultimately failed attempt to block the peaceful transfer of presidential power.
