Como estão os processos de Trump

By Duncan Mil

August 4, 2023 - Donald Trump declarou-se inocente de quatro acusações federais que
o acusam de organizar uma conspiração criminal para reverter a sua
derrota eleitoral em 2020 – terceira declaração de inocência desde abril.

“Not guilty,” Trump stressed the first word of his plea on Thursday (August 3) before Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya.

The arraignment -- U.S. special counsel Jack Smith’s second Department of Justice (DoJ) indictment against the former president -- charges Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction, conspiracy to obstruct the Electoral College vote certification, and conspiracy against voter rights. Charges that could carry prison time if convicted.

With the latest four charges, Trump now faces 78 criminal counts.

The 45-page indictment says Trump “pursued unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results.”

Trump’s next court date will be August 28, when U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan sets a trial date.

“This is a very sad day for America,” Trump told reporters after the hearing, portraying the indictment and the other three criminal cases against him as a “witch hunt” intended to derail his 2024 presidential campaign.

However, Trump’s legal woes have done little to damage his status as a Republican front-runner. A New York Times/Siena College poll between July 23-27 showed a landslide lead of 37 percentage points over Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, his closest competitor in the Republican primary.
