Names of alleged co-conspirators, campaign staff and White House officials are redacted in the filing, along with certain references to grand jury proceedings.

The former president was initially charged in August 2023, and the special counsel filed a new, narrower indictment to comply with the Supreme Court's immunity decision. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies wrongdoing.

The high court laid out three categories of presidential acts and corresponding levels of immunity. Actions taken within a president's exclusive constitutional authority are entitled to absolute immunity, official acts are entitled to the presumption of immunity and unofficial acts are not entitled to immunity at all.

Smith's brief argues that Trump's scheme to remain in power for a second term "was a private criminal effort, " not one that involved official conduct, and that Trump tried to overturn the election in his capacity as a candidate — not as president.

calling this a bombshell is like calling the warren commission report the truth.

[patriciajoy]

Rubbish. We know what you’re doing Jack,

[jlwiseguy]

I immediately lose respect for anyone who calls January 6th an insurrection

[blondie]

Riot maybe
But this is law fare
The American people are tired of these clowns

[Sifaria]

“I know it! You know it! Everybody knows it!” Is his usual LIE opener.

[garystreeter]

Jack Smith needs to give it up. Supreme Court already spoke on this

[DoyleHargraves]

Yeah, i'm unsubscribing. You all sound like CNN

[PutItAway]

Why does Jack Smith look like a corpse?

[TheBruuz]

It's tedious hearing the democratic side projecting their own flaws on others all the time. At this point I don't know if its a strategy or if they're truly that obtuse?

[zarathustrasmonky]

Who cares what Trump thinks about this? Let’s get Leopold’s feelings on on Heart of Darkness

[craigh]

You know an expert is an activist when they call J 6 an insurrection…. Clearly their specificity is wrong

[DashkinBeniquet]

I will save this comment. A lot of you are in denial. This man is a criminal and has lied to you this whole time. I will be here to welcome you back to reality in about 2 years. Take care

Remember that song- “Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more no more no more no more, Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more!”

*Where's the lawfare? Trump and Adams are in the same boat.*

[liza.b.c.s.]

Trump was not acting privately, he represents me.

[omegapointil]

LIKE TRYING TO TACKLE BARRY SANDERS SLIPPERY WEASEL

[Elisa-rg]

Yawn… I’m not even entertaining this Trump 2024 Goooo Trump

[Pogoc]
