“US prosecutors have filed a revised set of charges against Donald Trump over his alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, in an attempt to comply with the Supreme Court decision that recognised broad immunity from criminal prosecution for presidents. The superseding indictment, filed by special counsel Jack Smith in Washington federal court on Tuesday …. contains the same four core charges for which Smith charged the former president last year in connection with the aftermath of the 2020 election and the lead-up to the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol by a mob of his supporters. However, the indictment no longer includes certain allegations that Trump instructed his Department of Justice to declare the election results corrupt, or his conversations with DoJ official Jeffrey Clark, whom Trump tried to make attorney-general.” (08/27/24)
