Special Counsel Jack Smith has reintroduced the issue of Donald Trump's alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election after the Supreme Court's immunity ruling weakened his original case. Smith's case against Trump remains focused on conspiracies to defraud the election process and citizens' voting rights. He adjusted the indictment to comply with a Supreme Court ruling by removing claims that Trump used the Justice Department for his fraud allegations. He also reframed much of Trump's alleged conduct as that of a "candidate" rather than actions taken in his official capacity as president.
