A grand jury has returned a superseding indictment against Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. retaining the same four core charges against him for trying to subvert the election.

"The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions..."

Hey, Dope1, now that's what you call "interesting."

Details to follow.

One little bit I heard is that references to other officials in the administration (like Pence and Clark) have been dropped. The co-conspirator list has been trimmed to just private attorneys.

The USSC seemed to leave open that some interactions between officials might not be immune. But it appears that Jack Smith doesn't want to fight those battles. So he's sticking to working with only people clearly outside the administration.

If that's true (this is all fresh stuff and subject to early misunderstandings), seems like a decision that will help keep the case moving forward. Cut down on the number of things to argue over.

A correction. It appears that Pence still appears, but only in his role as President of the Senate. The likely argument here is in that role, Pence is not part of the administration, but part of Congress. That will be an interesting question to hear argued in court and through appeals.
