The new indictment takes into account the Supreme Court’s decision on Trump’s partial immunity from prosecution.
Prosecutors have filed a new, revised indictment against the former US president Donald Trump against.
The indictment concerns Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election after he lost the election for president For Joe Biden.
The supplementary indictment retains the same four charges that have been brought against Trump, but it takes into account the Supreme Court’s decision, according to which the former president has immunity from prosecution for official duties performed during his presidency.
The redrafted indictment has been revised to take into account the Supreme Court decision.
According to CNN prosecutors argue in the new indictment that Trump did not have constitutionally mandated presidential duties regarding the post-election transition of power, and thus the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling would not protect the former president.
