D.C. Grand Jury Returns Superseding Indictment Against Trump

A Washington, D.C., grand jury returned a superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday on four charges regarding election interference in the 2020 presidential election.

Trump was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights, according to the indictment.

The charges are the same charges that Special Counsel Jack Smith had previously brought against Trump. However, he reportedly removed “some elements to the case” in response to the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity in July, according to the Hill.
