It will be the second courtroom visit for Trump since April, when he pleaded not guilty to charges in New York stemming from a hush-money payment to a porn star. Trump is the first current or former president to face criminal charges, but that has not dented his hopes of returning to the White House. Trump has maintained his innocence and portrayed the case as an effort to undermine his re-election effort. The indictment alleges Trump lied to officials who tried to get them back. Trump accuses Democratic President Joe Biden of orchestrating the federal case to undermine his campaign.
