Trump Faces New Indictment Over Election Dispute

Federal prosecutors have filed a revised indictment against former President Donald Trump in connection with his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, maintaining four felony conspiracy charges but narrowing certain allegations to comply with a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The updated indictment removes claims related to Trump's interactions with the Justice Department and no longer includes former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark as a co-conspirator. Despite these adjustments, the core allegations remain intact, including attempts to pressure Vice President Mike Pence and the promotion of false voter fraud claims that incited the January 6 Capitol riot. The indictment emphasizes the distinction between Trump's official presidential actions and his personal interests as a candidate. This new indictment reflects the government's effort to align with the Supreme Court's ruling while still pursuing accountability for Trump's actions leading up to and following the election.
