Trump gained momentum in the special counsel election case with the Supreme Court's immunity ruling.

• In Washington, D.C., former President Donald Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury for the same charges he faced in his criminal election interference case.
• In order to "respect and implement" the recent Supreme Court holding that former presidents enjoy "presumptive immunity" for all official acts they performed while in office, a new indictment was filed.

On Tuesday, a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. indicted former President Donald Trump with the same charges he faced in his criminal election interference case.

Special counsel Jack Smith stated in a separate court filing that the new indictment was filed to "respect and implement" the views and instructions of a recent Supreme Court decision granting former presidents "presumptive immunity" for their official acts in office.

A new grand jury heard evidence in the criminal case against Smith, the Republican presidential nominee, as a superseding indictment was presented, according to Smith's filing.

The Department of Justice does not object to Trump's decision to waive his appearance at an arraignment on the new indictment, according to the filing.

The newly filed superseding indictment charges Trump with four counts related to his alleged efforts to illegally overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, as the original charging document was filed in August 2023.

Trump is charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, one count of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, and one count of conspiracy against rights.
