Smith files new indictment in Trump Jan. 6 case, adjusting for immunity decision

Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment in his case indicting former President Trump for his actions seeking to subvert the 2020 election, retaining the same charges but shifting some elements of the case in the wake of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.

The Tuesday filing comes after Smith presented the case against the former president to a second grand jury, which had not previously heard the case. It likewise concluded charges were warranted against the president.
