被控密谋推翻大选结果：特朗普拒不认罪（朗读版）|E0808

▍原文

Former US President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty in a Washington DC court to conspiring to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

During a short arraignment, he spoke softly to confirm his not-guilty plea, name and age, and that he was not under the influence of any substances.

It marks the former president's third appearance in four months as a criminal defendant.
