The superseding indictment, presented to a new grand jury, reflects the Government's efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court's holdings and remand instructions.
Last month, in a blockbuster decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office.
The new indictment removes mention of Trump's use of the Department of Justice, which was explicitly referenced in the Supreme Court's ruling as part of his official duties.
The original indictment laid out five ways Trump allegedly obstructed the function of the federal government regarding the results of the 2020 election.
