Donald Trump faces revised US indictment in election subversion case

ai generated text

The revised federal indictment against Donald Trump accuses him of attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss, with prosecutors narrowing their approach after a US Supreme Court ruling granted former presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling on July 1 stated that Trump is immune from prosecution for actions within his constitutional powers as president. The revised indictment retains the same four charges against Trump as in the earlier version, but carves out descriptions of his alleged conduct. The indictment focuses on Trump's role as a political candidate seeking re-election, rather than as the president at the time. Trump has denied election interference allegations, but maintained his claim of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. The central charge remains the same: that Trump attempted to subvert the 2020 presidential election and overturn his loss to Joe Biden.

    1. Smith rewrote the exact same case in an effort to circumvent the Supreme Court Decision.
    2. The illegally appointed 'Special Counsel' Deranged Jack Smith, has brought a ridiculous new Indictment against me, which has all the problems of the old Indictment, and should be dismissed IMMEDIATELY.
    3. It is DOJ policy that the Department of Justice should not take any action that will influence an election within 60 days of that election – but they just have taken such action.
    1. The district court deviated from binding Supreme Court precedent, misconstrued the statutes that authorized the special counsel's appointment, and took inadequate account of the longstanding history of Attorney General appointments of special counsels.
    1. Trump is at least presumptively immune from prosecution.
    1. I was concerned about a system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances, when we have a criminal justice system that had ordinarily treated everyone the same.
