Special Counsel Files Reworked Indictment Against Trump
The U.S. Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith has issued a superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump.
The charges are related to Trump’s alleged efforts to interfere with the 2020 election after his defeat by Joe Biden.
This updated indictment has been carefully crafted to align with a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which states that presidents are immune from prosecution for specific actions taken while in office.
The updated indictment still includes four criminal charges against Trump, but it omits some details of his alleged actions.
Trump has rejected the allegations of election interference, continuing to assert—despite a lack of evidence—that the 2020 election was marred by widespread voter fraud.
