The former US president's two codefendants in the case appeared in court in Fort Pierce, Florida, although Trump did not attend as his legal team submitted a plea of not guilty.
Walt Nauta, Trump's valet, did appear in person at the hearing to plead not guilty to the expanded set of charges he now faces.
Carlos De Oliveira, the property manager of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, was expected to enter a plea but could not because he had still not retained a local lawyer. His arraignment was rescheduled for next week.
The hearing came two weeks after Smith filed his superseding indictment adding De Oliveira as a codefendant in the case and outlining further charges against Trump and Nauta. De Oliveira faces four federal criminal charges, including making false statements and conspiring to obstruct justice.
Smith's superseding indictment alleges Trump engaged in a scheme with Nauta and De Oliveira to wipe a computer server containing Mara-Lago surveillance footage that was subpoenaed by prosecutors and showed boxes of classified documents being removed from the storage room.
