Revised Indictment Filed Against Trump

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a revised indictment against former President Donald Trump, adjusting the case following a Supreme Court ruling that granted Trump presumptive immunity for certain official acts while in office. The updated indictment maintains the four charges from the original but has been streamlined from 45 to 36 pages, focusing more on Trump's actions as a political candidate rather than as president. Key changes include the removal of evidence related to Trump's official advisers and the omission of efforts to persuade Trump to halt the Capitol riot. Despite these adjustments, the indictment retains allegations regarding Trump's pressure on former Vice President Mike Pence during the election certification process. Trump has dismissed the new charges as politically motivated and part of a 'witch hunt,' seeking to have the entire case dismissed based on the Supreme Court's ruling. The upcoming trial is expected to be affected by the approaching November election, where Trump is set to face Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
