Prosecutors file new charges against Donald Trump

What are they accusing him of?

Donald Trump faces charges.

US special prosecutor ‘takes aim’ at presidential candidate.

Former President Donald Trump faces a new indictment in a case related to his attempts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

The above was reported by special prosecutor Jack Smith on Tuesday.

It should be noted that the criminal charges remain.

However, the charges against him have been narrowed down.

WILL HE END UP BEHIND BARS?

The change comes after a recent Supreme Court opinion granted broad immunity to former presidents, according to AP.

The new document removes a key section of the original indictment that mentioned Trump’s interactions with the Justice Department.

According to the opinion issued by the Supreme Court last month, such conduct is protected by absolute immunity.

The decision also led to the exclusion of Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official who supported Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud, as a co-defendant in the case.

Although Trump’s co-defendants have not been named in the official indictments, they have been identified through other public documents.

Despite the changes, the indictment still includes allegations that Trump pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify the electoral vote count.

However, Chief Justice John Roberts has indicated that the interactions between Trump and Pence could be considered part of the former president’s official conduct.

This would grant him immunity from prosecution in that regard, AP reported.

The new indictment was filed in a federal court in Washington.

By a jury that had not yet had access to all the evidence in the case.

This adjustment in the indictment reflects how the legal system continues to confront the challenges presented by the prosecution of a former president.

Especially in a context as complex as that related to the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

After news of the new impeachment broke, Donald Trump became very angry and wrote on his social media page, calling the process an attack on democracy.

He also accused Vice President Kamala Harris of being behind justice by not being fair.

In his message , Trump said that no presidential campaign in American history has faced such a strong legal fight.

Also, he announced that someone is trying to influence the 2024 presidential elections.

Additionally, he said special prosecutor Jack Smith is trying to revive the case because it should have been forgotten by now.

According to Trump, this case should have been completely dismissed by now.

Trump cited a recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity to justify his words.

Finally, he assured that the legal actions against him are an attempt to distract the public from the errors of the current administration.
