Special Counsel Files New Indictment Against Donald Trump In Election Conspiracy Case

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a new indictment against Donald Trump, narrowing the scope of claims against the former president after the Supreme Court ruled that he was immune from conduct that were official acts.

A new grand jury again indicted Trump on four counts of conspiracy and obstruction to remain in power after the 2020 presidential election.

Those four counts are the same as those filed last year, but what is missing are some of the allegations to back them up. That includes claims that Trump sought to pressure Justice Department officials as he challenged the election results.

“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions in Trump v. United States,” Smith and other attorneys wrote in a court filing today.
