Donald Trump faces new indictment by special counsel in Jan. 6 case
Federal prosecutors filed a new indictment against former President Donald Trump in the special counsel’s case against him alleging a conspiracy to obstruct the 2020 election after the Supreme Court issued a ruling granting presidents immunity.
The indictment, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia, charges Trump with four felonies related to efforts to obstruct the 2020 election he lost to now-President Joe Biden.
The new indictment removes a section of the indictment that had accused Trump of trying to use the law enforcement powers of the Justice Department to overturn his election loss, an area of conduct for which the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 opinion last month, said that Trump was absolutely immune from prosecution.
The stripped-down criminal case represents a first effort by prosecutors to comply with a Supreme Court opinion that made all but certain the Republican presidential nominee won't face trial before the November election in the case alleging he tried to thwart the peaceful transfer of power.
