He has also waived his right to be present at his arraignment, which is scheduled for September 6th. Trump, a leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, faces multiple charges in other cases that coincide with the upcoming election campaign.

Trump and 18 others are co-defendants in a racketeering case, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, accused of attempting to overturn Biden’s win by persuading Georgia legislators to appoint fraudulent electors.
The indictment claims they participated in a criminal enterprise. The most severe charge Trump faces is violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, carrying a 20-year maximum sentence.
