The courtroom was hushed throughout the brief hearing.

Trump, who wore his standard red tie, white shirt and blue suit, sat hunched between his lawyers at the defense table, crossing and uncrossing his arms, but never spoke.

His lawyers, Christopher Kise and Todd Blanche, offered his plea and argued about conditions of pretrial release.

“We most certainly enter a plea of not guilty,” Blanche said.

Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith attended the hearing with a dozen other government lawyers.

The government argued Trump should have no contact with potential witnesses, but reached an agreement with the defense not to talk with witnesses about the case. Government lawyers will draw up a list of witnesses they don’t want Trump to talk to about the case.
