in the 2020 election case in Washington, D.C., based on a more narrow set of allegedly criminal acts after the Supreme Court ruled this summer that Trump was immune from prosecution for some of the conduct included in Smith’s originalSmith’s amended indictment piles atop a series of missteps the prosecutor has made in his quest to convict Trump, calling the superseding indictment a “last-ditch effort to try to avoid a motion to dismiss” the Washington case by defense attorneys.
