(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on August 27, 2024 shows Special Counsel Jack Smith (L) in Washington, DC, on June 9, 2023 and former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in Howell, Michigan, August 20, 2024. On August 27, prosecutors filed a revised indictment of Donald Trump on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 US election after losing to Joe Biden.  The superseding indictment retains the same four charges against Trump but takes into account the recent Supreme Court ruling that a former president has broad immunity from criminal prosecution.
