US prosecutors have issued revised charges against former President Donald Trump for his alleged attempts to interfere in the 2020 election after he lost to Joe Biden.
They are in response to a US Supreme Court ruling last month that said presidents enjoy broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office.
The revised indictment lays out the same four criminal counts against Trump – which he denies – but they now relate to his status as a political candidate rather than a sitting president.
It appears unlikely that the case – and other criminal cases faced by the Republican – will reach court before this year’s election on 5 November.
