New Indictment Filed Against Trump for Election Interference

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a revised indictment against former President Donald Trump regarding alleged election interference, following a recent Supreme Court ruling that established broad immunity for former presidents concerning their official acts. The new indictment eliminates certain allegations, such as Trump's attempts to pressure the Justice Department, in an effort to align with the Supreme Court’s decision while maintaining the core four felony charges against Trump. These charges include conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of a federal proceeding. This move marks the first significant action in the case since the Supreme Court's ruling and indicates the prosecution's intention to proceed despite the challenges posed by the immunity decision. The adjustments reflect the government's commitment to respecting the Supreme Court's instructions while pursuing accountability for actions taken during Trump's presidency.
