Former President Donald Trump is facing a new indictment related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The revised charging document has some of his closest allies hoping to avoid professional and criminal consequences for their involvement nearly four years ago.
Special counsel Jack Smith has rewritten Trump's federal indictment following a ruling by the US Supreme Court that a president cannot be prosecuted for official acts while in office. The allegations against Trump have been narrowed, and references to communications between Trump and federal government officials have been removed.
