Contributing sentiments towards policy:

32% : Referencing the lawsuit Trump filed to stop the election result in Georgia, the old wording that the lawsuit was "filed in his name" has been replaced with "filed in his capacity as a candidate for president."
31% : The new indictment repeatedly emphasizes that Trump was acting as an election candidate, not as president, when he sought to overturn the 2020 presidential result.
29% : There are numerous additions to the text as Smith and his team emphasize that Trump was acting as an election candidate, not as president.
24% : "The new indictment also deletes the allegation that Trump put pressure on Justice Department officials to help overturn the 2020 election result.
23% : Trump was indicted on four counts of allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the run-up to the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
22% : Even with those additions, the indictment is nine pages shorter than the original, as Smith has had to remove any reference to Trump's private conduct or official conduct that was used as evidence to indict Trump for private conduct.
