主持人:特别检察官杰克·史密斯就针对前总统特朗普的选举干预案提交了一份追加起诉书。这份追加起诉书并非对原先起诉书的完全替代,而是对其中一些说法进行了调整,以应对最高法院最近关于总统豁免权的裁决。最高法院的裁决指出,前总统对其在宪法权限内的行为享有绝对豁免权,对其官方行为享有推定豁免权,而对其非官方行为则没有任何豁免权。史密斯对起诉书的修改,旨在明确特朗普的行为属于非官方行为或可以驳回豁免权的官方行为。例如,起诉书中将“被告像每个美国人一样有权公开谈论选举”改为“作为候选人和公民,被告像每个美国人一样有权公开谈论选举”,以强调特朗普的行为是作为候选人和公民而非总统进行的。此外,起诉书中还对共同密谋者进行了重新描述,将他们描述为私人律师和私人政治顾问,以突出其行为的私人性质。起诉书中还删除了关于特朗普及其同谋试图利用司法部权力进行虚假选举犯罪调查的说法,这可能是因为最高法院暗示使用行政机构的行为很可能被视为官方行为,难以驳回豁免权。尽管起诉书中对说法进行了修改,但指控内容并未改变,仍然包括阴谋欺诈美国、阴谋妨碍官方程序、妨碍或企图妨碍官方程序以及串谋侵犯权利四项指控。

Chapters
Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against former President Trump in the election interference case. This indictment replaces the original one and clarifies allegations to address the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling. The changes emphasize Trump's actions as a candidate and private citizen, and interactions with private individuals.
  • A superseding indictment replaces an original one, often to modify charges or defendants.
  • The changes in the indictment aim to portray Trump's actions as private rather than official.
  • The charges remain the same: conspiracy to defraud the US, obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
