Washington DC: The 2024 US presidential election is around the corner, before that Republican Party candidate and former President Donald Trump's troubles may increase. US Justice Department's special counsel Jack Smith has filed an appeal to re-prosecute former President Donald Trump for trying to interfere in the 2020 US presidential election.

In fact, in this appeal, the previous criminal cases against Trump have been kept intact, but after the Supreme Court's comment that there is exemption for some works of the former President's office, the charges against Trump have been reduced.

Additional charges filed - Smith

"An additional charge was filed today in the DC election interference case. This streamlines the allegations and supporting evidence in the original charge, taking into account the US Supreme Court's decision regarding executive immunity," Smith said on X.

Allegations sidestep mini trial

Jack Smith further said that this bypasses the mini trial to determine the charges. The DOJ has stated its position on this allegation. Most of the allegations against Donald Trump are outside the scope of immunity.

Former President Trump has been denying the allegations

Let us tell you that former President Trump has been denying the allegations of any kind of interference in the 2020 elections and has always denied the allegations against him.

There is an attempt to interfere in the elections - Trump

On the social media platform Truth, Trump criticized Smith for filing a case against him. He said, the renewed appeal for punishment is to revive the persecution that has ended and to distract the American public from the election. Along with this, Trump said that filing the case is an attempt to interfere in the upcoming presidential elections.
