Jack Smith responds to Supreme Court immunity ruling by re-indicting Trump

Salon  

A federal grand jury on Tuesday re-indicted former President Donald Trump on four felony charges in the 2020 election subversion case. Special counsel Jack Smith's team secured the new indictment from a grand jury that did not previously hear evidence in the case after the Supreme Court ruled that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts,” and signals the Justice Department's intention to continue with the prosecution despite the ruling.

Anthony Michael Kreis, a law expert and political scientist at Georgia State University, wrote that the new indictment as an indication of Smith’s work to “preserve his case” amidst the Supreme Court ruling. "The superseding indictment is the Special Counsel's attempt to adhere to the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision without showing the prosecution's cards in an evidentiary hearing," he wrote on X.
