Special Counsel Adjusts Trump Indictment After Supreme Court Ruling

New Charges Reflect Changes in Presidential Immunity*

Special Counsel Jack Smith has revised the indictment against former President Trump to follow a Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity. The updated charges no longer include details about Trump’s use of the Department of Justice or his actions during the January 6 Capitol riot. Instead, they treated his controversial statements as part of his campaign rather than official presidential actions.
