The reworked indictment keeps the same charges but addresses a US Supreme Court decision that broadens presidential immunity.
Federal prosecutors accusing former United States President Donald Trump of election interference have released a newly revised indictment in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling.
Tuesday’s indictment narrows the focus of the case, trimming away interactions Trump had with the Department of Justice.
Still, the central charge remains the same: that Trump attempted to subvert the 2020 presidential election and overturn his loss to Democrat and current President Joe Biden. He has long claimed, falsely and without evidence, that widespread voter fraud marred the 2020 race.
The reworked case, unfolding in Washington, DC, is one of four indictments Trump faces. He is the first US president to face and be convicted of criminal charges.
