Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump-allied attorney John Eastman entered "not guilty" pleas in Georgia Tuesday, according to court records, waiving their scheduled arraignment appearances.
Cathy Latham, former GOP chair for Coffee County and a member of the Georgia Republican Party's executive committee, also pleaded not guilty on Tuesday and waived her arraignment hearing. Former President Donald Trump pleaded "not guilty" last week and waived his arraignment hearing, which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wenesday.
Trump and 18 co-defendants face felony charges over an alleged scheme to overturn the Peach State's 2020 presidential election results. Trump has been charged with racketeering and he and his co-defendants stand accused of organizing a "criminal enterprise" to thwart certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. The former president surrendered at a local jail on Aug. 24, submitting a booking photo and his finger prints. He stands released on $200,000 bond.
