Trump charged in superseding indictment in election interference case following SCOTUS ruling
Source: ABC News
Special counsel Jack Smith has charged former President Donald Trump in a superseding indictment in his federal election interference case.
"Today, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned a superseding indictment, ECF No. 226, charging the defendant with the same criminal offenses that were charged in the original indictment," a Justice Department spokesperson said Tuesday.
"The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Governments efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Courts holdings and remand instructions," the spokesperson said.
Trump last August pleaded not guilty to federal charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election in an effort to subvert democracy and remain in power. Last month, in a blockbuster decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office, and sent the case back to the trial court to sort out which charges against him can stand.

(72,283 posts)And Jack Smith has also charged a lot of people as being co-conspirators
. Such as the ones
who filled phony documentation so they could be counted as electoral voters even though they
werent ones. I hope some sing like birdies.
