Lawyers for Donald Trump and special counsel Jack Smith return to federal court for first time since high court ruling on presidential immunity.

Trump did not attend Thursday 's hearing and waived his right to appear.

The former president was charged in a superseding indictment with the same four charges he initially faced.

Trump 's lawyer reaffirmed Trump 's not guilty plea in brief arraignment on the new indictment.

Judge Chutkan : "I am definitely not getting drawn into an election dispute" The judge sparred over whether Trump 's discussions with Pence were official acts.

She said she would decide whether they are outside of Trump 's official duties.

Lauro said if the conduct involving Trump and Pence is shielded, then the new indictment is illegitimate.
