(Getty Images) Another day, another batch of developments in high-profile court cases. Here’s what’s coming down on both sides of the aisle: Former President Trump’s election interference case resumed for the first time since the Supreme Court’s historic decision granting him some presidential immunity — and the special counsel’s revised indictment over his alleged attempts to interfere in the 2020 election. Trump didn’t attend the hearing, but he directed his lawyers to enter a not guilty plea to the revised charges. It’s unclear whether the trial will happen before the election. Judge Tanya Chutkan said, “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule" — but evidence could be released before Nov. 5. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to nine tax-related charges to avoid a lengthy and potentially embarrassing trial. It was an open plea, meaning he didn't secure a sentencing deal beforehand. U.S. District Judge Mark C. Scarsi, a Trump appointee, accepted this, and scheduled Biden's sentencing for Dec. 16. Biden could face up to 17 years in prison and a potential $1.3 million fine — and his father has ruled out a presidential pardon.   More Stories [Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey speaks to the media after a shooting at Apalachee High School]( Getty Images Colt Gray, the 14-year-old charged with four counts of felony murder in the shooting at Apalachee High School, will appear in court today.
