AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports special counsel Jack Smith has filed a new indictment in Donald Trump’s January 6th case following last month’s Supreme Court immunity ruling. The new indictment also removes references to Trump’s communications with federal government officials — like senior White House attorneys — who told him there was no evidence of fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election. It also removes references to certain Trump statements, including a claim he made during a White House press conference two days after the election about a suspicious dump of votes in Detroit.
