Special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday filed a superseding indictment in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, slimming down the allegations against the 2024 presidential nominee in light of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.

Prosecutors have not dropped any of the four charges that they initially brought against the former president. However, the newly retooled indictment has carved out some of Trump’s alleged conduct, including allegations about the attempts to use the Justice Department to promote his false claims of election fraud.

Presumably, the retooled indictment is aimed at addressing the issues raised by the Supreme Court’s rulings in Fischer v. USA (re: the interpretation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)) and Trump v. USA (on presidential immunity).
