Former President Donald Trump may not show up to his arraignment in Georgia next week, according to two sources familiar with his plans.
Trump is considering waiving his arraignment appearance, which is scheduled for the morning of Sept. 6, the sources told CBS News. He is charged with 13 felony counts related to an alleged scheme to overturn the results of the presidential election in Georgia.
Eh, this is not really a story:
Fulton County Superior Court allows defendants to appear virtually for arraignments or waive their right to appear at all. Instead, a defendant’s attorney would enter a not guilty plea in writing.
Several of Trump’s 18 co-defendants have already waived their formal arraignments and entered not guilty pleas, excusing them from appearing in person.
It’s a thing you are allowed to do in Fulton County, people deserve to follow the applicable law without being criticized for it.
I don’t like the guy. I want to see him behind bars, but this is not indicative of guilt
This? No. But [waves arms] everything else he says and does…seems to be.
Gestures broadly
Yes that was what I meant, but did not quite land it. Thank you.
I laughed at your version, just saying.
Why would he do that? Merch sales would go through the roof.
Does he have somewhere more pressing to be? Like a jet to Mumbai?
Doubtful, Epstein’s jet doesn’t fly anymore
I hear Eastern Ukraine is nice this time of year
Don’t they have enough problems already?
He can’t. Bone spurs, remember?
It will be the first time he hasn’t shown up for the arraignment in person. Saying not guilty, catch ya at the trial.
