Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to revised federal charges against him over his alleged attempts to interfere in the 2020 election.
Jack Smith, the special counsel on the case, updated the wording of the charges last week, after the US Supreme Court ruled that presidents had broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts.
Trump has denied accusations that he pressed officials to reverse the 2020 election results, knowingly spread lies about election fraud and exploited a riot at the US Capitol to delay the certification of Joe Biden's victory.
His lawyers officially entered the not guilty plea on his behalf at an arraignment hearing on Thursday in Washington.
