Trump Faces New Indictment in Election Case Post-Supreme Court Ruling

WASHINGTON In an attempt to reverse his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, former President Donald Trump was once again charged, leading to the attack on the US Capitol building on January 6.

The same four counts that Trump was charged with in the initial indictment from last August are included in the superseding indictment that a federal grand jury returned on Tuesday:
