Today Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to felony charges for the fourth time in less than five months.

Trump entered a plea of not guilty to all 13 charges against him in the Georgia case

over his alleged attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss.

The former president chose not to appear in court to make that plea waiving his right to an

arraignment. Trump's lawyers also asked the court to officially separate his trial

from several of his co-defendants in that case

who have requested their trials be sped up. The Trump legal team offered a now familiar

argument about not having enough time to prepare for a trial in the near future.

Today we also got our first look at the full transcript of the former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows

after he took the stand for nearly four hours earlier this week. That transcript

included Meadows explanation for one of the most curious and overtly political

incidents in the whole Georgia saga.

After the 2020 election, Meadows made a surprise trip to a civic center in Cobb County, Georgia, where the state's ballot

auditing process was taking place.

Now, no one's really been able to explain what Meadows was doing there that day.

But during his cross-examination on the stand, Mark Meadows told the court that he showed

up to that ballot counting facility uninvited. He said no one told him to go there.

He just happened to be in the Atlanta area at the time, so he thought he'd show up.

You know you're on vacation in Atlanta you visit the

Coca-Cola Museum you take in a ride on the Ferris wheel then you drive out to the

Cobb County Civic Center and take in a nice ballot audit, a totally normal thing to do.

Prosecutors also appear to have caught Mark Meadows in a lie
