Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to four counts of storming Capitol Hill on January 6 two years ago and attempting to subvert the outcome of the 2020 election.

The hearing took place in Washington and lasted 27 minutes. The next one has been set for August 28th.

The magistrate ordered the former president not to speak to anyone who could be considered a witness of the facts relating to the case.

«It is a sad day for America – said the tycoon -. This is persecution."

“Despite the fact that… I was arrested by my political opponent the 'corrupt Joe Biden', who is losing to me in the polls, it was a good day!” he later wrote on his social media Truth.
