Here’s the latest on Trump’s court appearance.

Former President Donald J. Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday
to charges that he conspired to remain in office despite his 2020
election loss, appearing before a judge in a Washington courthouse
in the shadow of the Capitol, where his supporters rampaged in an
effort to undermine the peaceful transfer of power.
Mr. Trump, who is running in the hopes of being sworn in again on
the steps of the Capitol, stood before a federal magistrate judge
who asked for his plea to the four counts he faced. He replied, “Not
guilty.”

Upadhyaya ordered the government to file a brief seven days from

today, setting forth a proposal for a trial date and an estimate of
how long it expects to take to make its case. Within seven days of
that, Trump’s lawyers are required to file their own proposal for a
trial date and estimate of how long it will take.

to be present in courtrooms in Miami, Washington, New York and

What happens if Trump is elected while facing

Despite multiple criminal indictments, former President Donald J. Trump is still the

If former President Donald J. Trump wins the presidency even as

criminal charges against him still loom, a series of extraordinary
complications would ensue.
The indictment on Tuesday over his attempts to remain in power
after he lost the 2020 election added to the mounting legal peril
