Attorney John Eastman entered a plea of not guilty on Friday to conspiracy, fraud, and forgery charges for his alleged role in the effort to challenge the 2020 presidential election results.

In a brief statement outside the courthouse, Mr. Eastman denied all wrongdoing and said he believes he will be cleared of all charges.
