Convicted felon former President Trump has been hit with a superseding indictment by a grand jury in Washington, DC for his failed post-2020 election coup attempt. The charges are the same from the original August 1st, 2023 indictment but, per Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s team, have been modified to work around the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v United States.
One funny thing to point out: A superseding indictment may or may not have been subject to the Justice Department’s “60 day rule” governing how close to an election that prosecutors can take action against a political defendant, but it’s moot either way because it’s 70 days to go now.
