Jack Smith brings new election interference indictment against Trump

Special counsel Jack Smith brought a superseding indictment against Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, charging the same four felonies he did one year ago over allegations the former president illegally attempted to overturn the 2020 election.

The indictment is slightly shorter than the previous one Smith brought last August, as the special counsel excised portions of it after the Supreme Court ruled in July that some of the initial indictment included activity protected by presidential immunity.

The move by Smith is a sign that the special counsel is not backing down from criminally charging Trump in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision, which legal experts widely suspected would derail Smith’s case.

Read the superseding indictment below.
