A federal grand jury on Tuesday returned a superseding indictment that charges Trump with the same four counts he faced in the original indictment last August: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.

The new indictment was returned following the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity last month, which barred the government from using certain "official acts" Trump took in his role as president in its prosecution.

“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” special counsel Jack Smith's office said in Tuesday's filing.

Why is he running for president? Because that's where the power is to keep him out of prison is. The system isn't quite working for him, so he intends to change it and pardon himself or even make it impossible to prosecute him in the future. That's my conjecture anyway. I have little hope on understanding him completely as he adds in so many falsehoods to his speech.

I also know that he hates to lose, and so therefore he needs a rematch. He has an interesting obsession with winners and losers

I should have said, "Why is he able to run for president?"
