Former President Donald Trump Pleads Not Guilty in Georgia Racketeering Case_我的网站
一 |
Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to criminal charges related to his involvement in a sweeping scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia and waived his right to appear at an arraignment scheduled for next week.
“Understanding my rights, I do hereby freely and voluntarily waive my right to be present at my
arraignment on the Indictment and my right to have it read to me in open court,” the former president said in the court filing presented on Thursday.
The arraignment is set for the morning of Sept. 6 at Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta.
Earlier this month, Trump and 18 of his closest allies were accused in a 41-count indictment brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of coordinating a racketeering scheme, which involved spreading conspiracy theories, pressuring elected officials and propping up fake electors to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia in a desperate effort to remain in power despite having lost the presidency in a free and fair vote.
The indictment marks the fourth set of criminal charges against Trump, who now faces a cumulative 91 felony counts in New York state court for hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, in federal court in Florida where he’s been accused of mishandling classified documents, and in federal court in the District of Columbia in connection with efforts to prevent the peaceful transfer of power and incite a violent insurrection at the Capitol and in Georgia.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied wrongdoing in all the cases against him. He continues to repeat unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen” and that the indictments that followed amount to a witch hunt and election interference. In reality, Trump lost the general election to Biden, and, in Georgia specifically, he lost by some 11,779 votes.
Trump faces 13 criminal charges in Georgia, the most serious of which is violating the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as RICO. That charge alone carries a minimum prison sentence of five years and a maximum sentence of 20 years. Trump also faces a slew of fraud and forgery charges.
Trump, the current front-runner in the GOP presidential primary race, was booked on Aug. 24. The conditions for his release included a $200,000 bond and strict conditions on his social media use. Among other things, he must not violate any laws in Georgia or elsewhere, he must appear in court as directed, he must not communicate about the facts of the case with fellow co-defendants – except through his legal team – and he must not intimidate co-defendants or witnesses.
Willis asked the overseeing Trump’s case, Judge Scott McAfee, to expedite the cases of all 19 defendants, but McAfee has not yet set a date for his trial.
。 西湖的荷花文化早已和这座城市紧紧相连。西湖荷花属于“花莲”品系，以观赏为主，所以莲蓬产量远远不及“子莲”，西湖水域管理处工作人员说，莲市期间，一般每天可以保证50~70份的莲蓬、荷叶。摘掉过密的荷叶，为的是给下层荷叶“让路”，让阳光透进去，促使新叶生长，同时减少腐烂荷叶对水质的污染。摘来的荷叶、莲蓬义卖给市民和游客，一举两得。西湖莲蓬、荷叶之所以会被杭州人追捧，一是因为现采的莲蓬，长在西湖里无公害，吃起来确实很嫩。二来，不少人只认西湖牌荷叶，这是一种西湖情结，而且叶子够大，拿回去晒干、剪碎，用来泡茶喝，或者做粉蒸肉、叫花鸡。西湖景区水域管理处水生植物养护班班长俞阳洋介绍，荷花是强光性植物，今年雨水比较多，受多个台风影响和连续强降雨，荷叶在潮湿环境下，部分叶面上可能有斑点，样子可能没那么完美。今年的西湖莲蓬、荷叶义卖，从8月13日开始，一直持续至8月下旬，每个工作日上午7点，柳浪闻莺微笑亭（柳浪闻莺公园内、钱王祠码头西南侧附近）准时发放当日号码牌，8点30分开始售卖，每份10元，每人限购一份，售完即止，请自备零钱（或支付宝付款）。逢双休日或者雨天停售。每一分义卖所得都将捐入慈善机构，去往需要它们的地方，温暖更多的人。
