WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump is now confronting a revised indictment filed by US Special Counsel Jack Smith, centered on allegations of interference in the 2020 presidential election.

This updated indictment follows a recent Supreme Court decision granting Trump partial immunity from prosecution. The new charges mirror the previous allegations, accusing Trump of conspiring to overturn the election results.

In response, Trump has dismissed the indictment as a political maneuver aimed at shifting public focus away from what he describes as the current administration’s failures.

“This is nothing more than an attempt to interfere with the election and distract the American people from the disasters Vice President Kamala Harris has brought upon our nation, including the border crisis, migrant crime, rampant inflation, and the looming threat of World War III,” Trump stated on Truth Social.
