Donald Trump was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a Manhattan criminal court.
Flanked by over a dozen court officers and secret service agents, Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The proceedings lasted nearly an hour. Prosecutors also mentioned Trump had made “threatening posts” on social media.
Judge Merchan gave Trump’s lawyers until 8 August to file any motions – such as a potential motion to have the case struck out.
The charges against Trump are all Class E felonies – the lowest category of felony offence. They carry a maximum sentence of four years.
