Trump Pleads Not Guilty To 2020 Election Charges During D.C. Arraignment

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to four alleged crimes related to the January 6, 2020, Capitol riot and 2020 election on Thursday.

Trump was arraigned in a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., after a grand jury voted Tuesday to indict the former president on counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Trump attorney Alina Habba spoke outside the D.C. courthouse, accusing the Department of Justice of targeting Trump to cover up negative news about President Joe Biden and his family.

“This is election interference at its finest against the leading candidate, right now, for president of either party. President Trump is under siege in a way that we have never seen before,” Habba said.

Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social, ahead of the court hearing, accusing Biden of corruption.

“Biden and his family steal Millions and Millions of Dollars, including BRIBES from foreign countries, and I’m headed to D.C. to be ARRESTED for protesting a CROOKED ELECTION. UNFAIR VENUE, UNFAIR JUDGE. We are a Nation in Decline. MAGA!” Trump posted.

This week’s indictment against Trump is the third in roughly four months, piling court battle on top of court battle while Trump campaigns for the Republican nomination for president in 2024. The indictment is also the second from Smith. The first indictment, up for trial in Florida, accuses Trump of mishandling classified documents stored in Mar-a-Lago after his exit from the White House in 2021.

Republicans have largely condemned the latest indictment, calling it a product of a weaponized Department of Justice. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called the indictment the “DOJ’s attempt to distract … and attack the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, President Trump.”

McCarthy has threatened impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden over evidence that Biden allegedly sold influence to foreign countries through his son, Hunter.

Trump is facing a bevy of trials during some of the heaviest parts of the campaign season. He is due to face trial in New York on March 25 over alleged hush money Trump paid to the porn star known as Stormy Daniels. The indictment alleges 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in order to cover up the payments.

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating Trump over allegations of election tampering. Willis is expected to conclude her investigation and seek an indictment against Trump in the next few weeks.

The former president is also facing two civil trials, a business fraud trial in New York and a defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, who has already won once case against Trump after a jury found him liable for sexual abuse in May.

Trump is not required to attend civil trials in person, though he will have to sit through criminal trials.

Kelly Osbourne Says She Hid For All 9 Months Of Her Pregnancy To Avoid Being ‘Fat Shamed’

Kelly Osbourne said she hid for all nine months of her pregnancy because she didn’t “want to get fat-shamed” before giving birth to her first child, a baby boy, earlier this year.

The 38-year-old singer/actress posted two photos on Instagram and fans noticed a difference in her appearance, which sparked a question from one person asking about the lack of photos of her being pregnant, wondering if it was because she hired a surrogate to carry her son with boyfriend Sid Wilson, Sydney, the “Today” show reported.

“There are no pictures of me pregnant because I hid for 9 months because I did not want to get fat shamed,” Osbourne wrote on social media.

She also hit back at the suggestions that she might’ve had some work done on her neck and face, after fans thought she looked different than earlier posts.

“It’s just from weight loss,” Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter replied. “Honestly I’ve only had Botox.”

The TV personality has spoken in the past about how being body shamed took a toll on her mental health. In 2021, the singer slammed a tabloid to get a comment from her about her changing weight, the outlet noted.

“This past year has been the hardest year of my life,” Sharon Osbourne’s daughter wrote in an Instagram Story, at the time.

“I was completely and utterly broken,” she added. “I am still putting myself back together again. I am happy. I am healthy and that’s all that should matter.”

A year later, the fashion designer shared the exciting news she was expecting her first child.

“I know that I have been quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why …” Osbourne captioned her post with a picture of a sonogram.

“I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma,” she added. “To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic!”

In January, her mom Sharon spilled the beans that Kelly had given birth and her grandson’s name, a move that did not make Kelly happy.

She later wrote on Instagram, “I am not ready to share him with the world. It is no one’s place but mine to share any information on my baby.”
