role there has brought this case against the ex-president. throughout this proceeding trump clearly had he was clearly looking forward, he wasn t really looking around, except when he exited the room, he took a good long look at the people behind him, both public, some of his supporters, even, in the courtroom and then the press before he was let out separately from his attorneys. so he did have the chance to provide that not guilty plea through his attorney. his attorney is the one who actually stood up and told the judge that he would be pleading not guilty to the charges he faces at this time. and then the other thing that happened that was so intriguing about this was it took a long time for donald trump to sign on the dotted line that he was going to be agreeing to conditions of release, that the judge would be placing upon him, including not to talk to his co-defendants about his co-defendant walt nauta about the details of the case or even other witnesses.
