US prosecutors obtained a new indictment in the 2020 election subversion case against Donald Trump on Tuesday, following a US Supreme Court ruling that former presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution.
The new indictment dropped allegations that Trump sought to pressure the US Justice Department in his bid to overturn his election defeat, an apparent effort to keep the prosecution alive after the high court found that Trump could not be prosecuted for that conduct.
