Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty following the issuance last week of a superseding indictment issued in connection with his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, the former president said in court documents filed Tuesday.

He also waived his right to be present at the trial, where he will be charged with the same four counts as in the original indictment last year.

“I, President Donald J. Trump … hereby waive my right to be present at a preliminary hearing and authorize my attorneys to enter a motion of acquittal on my behalf on each of the superseding charges in the indictment,” he said in the letter.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office said in court documents filed last week that it would not oppose Trump waiving his appearance on the charges, which are the same as those he pleaded not guilty to last August: conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstructing and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy to violate the law.

Smith sought an amended indictment from a new grand jury after the Supreme Court issued a ruling on presidential immunity that barred federal prosecutors from using certain “official acts” Trump took while serving as president in their case.

The new indictment omits evidence from the previous one that could be seen as relating to official actions, including alleged conversations between Trump and Justice Department officials and White House aides about his false claims of voter fraud and ways to overturn the 2020 election results.

Much of the superseding indictment is the same as the original, with prosecutors arguing that Trump did not actually believe the lies he spread after his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden and that he knew they were not true.

“These claims were unsubstantiated, objectively unsubstantiated, and continually changed, and the defendant and his co-conspirators continued to make them even after they were publicly refuted,” the new indictment reads. “These claims were false, and the defendant knew they were false.”

Smith’s office said in a letter filed last week that the amended indictment “reflects the government’s efforts to respect and implement Supreme Court rulings and referral instructions.”

Trump criticized the indictment on social media shortly after it was filed, calling it an “action directly against democracy.”

“This case is about a ‘conspiracy to obstruct the 2020 Presidential Election,’ when it was they who obstructed the election, not me,” he wrote.
