44% : The only difference is that a 45-page indictment has now been reduced to a 36-page indictment and several of the factual allegations in the original indictment have now been removed to try to comply with the Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v. U.S.There the Supreme Court limited the kinds of evidence that can be introduced in any criminal case against a former president for acts he committed while in office.
43% : And the court also said that Trump enjoyed presumptive immunity from any prosecution related to his conversations with Vice President Mike Pence about whether Pence should certify the results of the election.
28% : "As a result, Smith removed from the indictment factual allegations related to the former, but left intact factual allegations related to the latter and took pains to emphasize that, in his view, Trump acted in his political and personal, rather than official, capacity.Smith's amended indictment is simply an attempt to get in front of likely legal arguments by Trump's legal team asking Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss all, or certain, of the Washington charges against him on this basis.
22% : In his Washington, D.C., case against Trump, which was related to Trump's conduct in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Smith on Tuesday sought and received a superseding (amended) indictment.
