Special Counsel files new indictment against Trump in election case
The special counsel has filed a new indictment against Donald Trump in the 2020 election interference case. Jack Smith is keeping the same criminal charges, but he narrowed the allegations against Trump following a Supreme Court opinion granting broad immunity to former presidents for official acts. The new indictment removes items covered by the immunity ruling, including Trump’s interactions with the Justice Department. But it keeps allegations related to the former president’s interactions with Vice President Mike Pence.
