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 retains the four original charges against Trump from the special counsel's original indictment -- but is pared down to adjust to the Supreme Court's ruling.For instance, it removes the allegations of how Trump allegedly sought to use the Justice Department in his efforts to overturn the election -- which was explicitly mentioned in the Supreme Court's ruling as falling within his official duties.
