indictment, you'll probably recall, charged a broad-ranging conspiracy that essentially entailed a whole bunch of different buckets of conduct by Donald Trump.
His pressure campaign on Mike Pence, his pressure campaign on the Justice Department, his attempt to pressure state officials, the fake electors scheme.
Well, in this new indictment, which is called a superseding indictment and now essentially replaces the old indictment, the part about the Justice Department is out.
The part about Mike Pence is out.
And all we're left with
in this superseding indictment is the charges relating to trump's effort to pressure state and local officials and to submit false slates of electors now if you're wondering why would jack smith pare back cut back his own case the answer is because of the u.s supreme court's immunity ruling which came down in july and in that ruling the supreme court said that many of the things that donald trump did while he's in office including specifically his interactions with doj some of his public communications
likely his interactions with the vice president.
The Supreme Court said those things are likely going to be immune and therefore out of this case.
And so Jack Smith has now made a tactical decision.
I'm not going to fight the battle to keep those things in the case.
I'm going to take them out of the case.
I'm going to focus on the pressure that Donald Trump put on state and local officials and the fake elector scheme.
And I'm going to try to move ahead with those pieces of the case still in place.
