After a delay to recalibrate following the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling, DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against Donald Trump in the federal election subversion case, tailoring the charges to accommodate the Supreme Court's new rules.
Just over a year ago, special counsel Jack Smith indicted former President Donald Trump over his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. There was a bit of déjà vu then on Tuesday when Smith revealed that he had obtained a superseding indictment against Trump, keeping the same four charges in place but with the backing of a different federal grand jury.
” The new indictment also addresses the role of then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, who has attempted to use his former position as cover from being investigated or indicted. Smith now clarifies that Meadows “sometimes handled private and Campaign-related logistics for the Defendant” when describing Trump’s now infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Interestingly, the new indictment’s edits also appear to consider a second Supreme Court ruling as well.
