BREAKING: Donald Trump indicted yet again - this time in Jack Smith's 2020 election and January 6 case
Trump is facing four new charges: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights, according to the 45-page indictment.
"I hear that Deranged Jack Smith, in order to interfere with the Presidential Election of 2024, will be putting out yet another Fake Indictment of your favorite President, me, at 5:00 p.m.," he wrote minutes before the news broke. The indictment was received by the duty magistrate judge and placed under seal. On Tuesday, Judge Moxila Upadhyaya was scheduled as the duty magistrate, though a different judge will oversee the eventual trial.
As speculation swirled about whether the grand jury would move to indict the former president when it convened on Thursday, July 27, two of Trump's attorneys met with prosecutors in the District that day. Hours later, Smith's team surprised Trump with a superseding indictment, bringing three new charges to the ongoing case surrounding alleged mishandling of classified record at his Florida resort home, Mar-a-Lago.
