From ABC News
Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, according to a source in the courtroom, after being indicted by a Manhattan grand jury last week.
Prosecutors asked for a trial date in January 2024.
Donald Trump’s legal team called that timeline “too aggressive” and suggested spring 2024 as an alternative.
The judge did not weigh in.
Trump's next in-person court appearance is set for Dec. 4. The defense counsel asked the judge to waive Trump’s appearance.
The judge acknowledged that Tuesday's hearing was a “huge undertaking,” but said he would not immediately excuse Trump’s appearance, and said he would deny for the time being the defense counsel’s request “in the interest of transparency.”
