Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to criminal charges related to his involvement in a sweeping scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia and waived his right to appear at an arraignment scheduled for next week.

“Understanding my rights, I do hereby freely and voluntarily waive my right to be present at my

arraignment on the Indictment and my right to have it read to me in open court,” the former president said in the court filing presented on Thursday.

The arraignment is set for the morning of Sept. 6 at Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta.

Earlier this month, Trump and 18 of his closest allies were accused in a 41-count indictment brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of coordinating a racketeering scheme, which involved spreading conspiracy theories, pressuring elected officials and propping up fake electors to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia in a desperate effort to remain in power despite having lost the presidency in a free and fair vote.

The indictment marks the fourth set of criminal charges against Trump, who now faces a cumulative 91 felony counts in New York state court for hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, in federal court in Florida where he’s been accused of mishandling classified documents, and in federal court in the District of Columbia in connection with efforts to prevent the peaceful transfer of power and incite a violent insurrection at the Capitol and in Georgia.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied wrongdoing in all the cases against him. He continues to repeat unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen” and that the indictments that followed amount to a witch hunt and election interference. In reality, Trump lost the general election to Biden, and, in Georgia specifically, he lost by some 11,779 votes.

Trump faces 13 criminal charges in Georgia, the most serious of which is violating the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as RICO. That charge alone carries a minimum prison sentence of five years and a maximum sentence of 20 years. Trump also faces a slew of fraud and forgery charges.

Trump, the current front-runner in the GOP presidential primary race, was booked on Aug. 24. The conditions for his release included a $200,000 bond and strict conditions on his social media use. Among other things, he must not violate any laws in Georgia or elsewhere, he must appear in court as directed, he must not communicate about the facts of the case with fellow co-defendants – except through his legal team – and he must not intimidate co-defendants or witnesses.

Willis asked the overseeing Trump’s case, Judge Scott McAfee, to expedite the cases of all 19 defendants, but McAfee has not yet set a date for his trial.

当周启豪在WTT欧洲大满贯男单1/8决赛中2比3不敌松岛辉空，瑞典马尔默的这站欧洲大满贯上，国乒男单宣告无人挺进八强，而男女双则已经在前一天止步八强。即便女单仍有5名球员闯入八强，林诗栋/蒯曼又一次拿到了混双冠军，全力维系着国乒的体面，但国乒的成绩单，已然“偏科”。中国乒乓球过去最让对手艳羡的集团优势，正在发生什么样的变化？周启豪不敌松岛辉空无缘八强。今年美国大满贯，中国男单选手集体止步16强——王楚钦1比3输给丹麦选手安德斯·林，林诗栋则0比3负于法国的艾利克斯·勒布伦。

B | 到了横滨冠军赛，中国男单同样没有进入八强。周启豪在16强赛以1比3输给日本选手松岛辉空，后者最终一路打进四强。

C | 来到瑞典的欧洲大满贯，林诗栋又遇到了艾利克斯·勒布伦。这一次两人打满五局，林诗栋连续两站大满贯面对同一个对手，都没能过关闯入八强。周启豪随后的输球，则令国乒男单不得不接受全军覆没，连续三站WTT高级别赛事无缘八强的苦果。一个不得不面对的现实是，中国男单已很难像过去那样，始终能在大赛后半程保持集团优势。在国乒男单面前，对手也在变得越来越多、越来越强。林诗栋负于艾利克斯·勒布伦止步16强。安德斯·林、勒布伦兄弟、松岛辉空，以及正在冒头的篠塚大登……他们来自不同国家，也有不同的打法。过去，中国男乒面对的往往是一个具体的挑战者。现在，挑战者正在变成一群人。

D | 这种变化似乎还蔓延到了双打。欧洲大满贯男双1/4决赛，林诗栋/温瑞博对阵勒布伦兄弟，法国组合最终淘汰了来自中国的头号种子。女双同样止步八强。王曼昱/蒯曼此前在WTT系列赛中保持了长时间的不败纪录，这一次却被中国香港组合杜凯琹/吴咏琳击败。WTT官方赛后特别提到，这是王曼昱/蒯曼在WTT系列赛女双赛场两年来仅有的第二场失利。此外，王艺迪/陈熠则被日本组合张本美和/早田希娜击败。这几场输球提醒人们：双打项目的竞争，同样开始让国乒感到棘手。王曼昱/蒯曼未能晋级女双四强。过去，国乒拥有足够深厚的单打人才阵容，单打优势很容易转化成双打优势。但如今，外协会也在形成越来越成熟的组合，曾经的单打领先优势，不再意味着双打项目还能高枕无忧。勒布伦兄弟就是一个很典型的例子——他们从单打赛场上的挑战者，已然变成了双打赛场上的有力竞争者。目前，女单依然是国乒最稳定的项目之一，欧洲大满贯进入后半程的中国选手数量依旧可观。混双则依然保持优势，林诗栋/蒯曼最终再次夺冠，实现卫冕。中国乒乓球的优势仍在，但追赶者正在迎头而上，竞争者变得越来越多，冠军争夺也开始出现越来越多的“变量”。林诗栋/蒯曼摘得混双冠军。

E | 过去国乒最可怕的地方，并不只是某一个人的实力，而是多个项目上的集体统治力——你赢了一个中国选手，还有下一个；你解决了一对双打组合，还有另一对。但这种集团优势，已经没有过去那么理所当然。法国有勒布伦兄弟，日本有张本智和、松岛辉空、篠塚大登，欧洲还有安德斯·林、莫雷加德等一批年轻或进入成熟期的选手。他们未必能彻底颠覆世界乒坛的格局，但却在改变一个很重要的事实：击败中国队，越来越不再是一件只能偶然发生的事情。当越来越多的对手开始找到战胜国乒的方法，中国队过去依靠人员深度和稳定性建立起来的优势，还能不能继续保持？问题已经摆在了桌面上，等待着解答。
