Smith Files New Indictment Against Trump

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a new superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump, focusing on his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. This follows a Supreme Court ruling granting Trump broad immunity for official acts conducted while in office. The updated indictment retains the original four charges but removes allegations related to Trump's interactions with the Justice Department and drops Jeffrey Clark as a co-conspirator. The revised indictment, presented to a new grand jury, narrows its focus to Trump's personal and political actions, including his attempts to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject the electoral vote certification. The changes reflect the Government's efforts to comply with the Supreme Court's decision.
