Jack Smith just brought a superseding criminal indictment against Donald Trump
We went into today expecting Jack Smith to criminally indict Donald Trump on charges relating to January 6th. That didn’t happen, but now it turns out Smith has brought additional criminal charges against Trump today – in Florida.
Jack Smith has brought a superseding criminal indictment against Donald Trump today, centered around the charge of willful retention of classified material. This news is breaking, just moments after the news that the Mar-a-Lago “pool boy” has also been added as a defendant in the case.
So there you have it. Jack Smith did criminally indict Donald Trump today, just on different charges than we were expecting. Don’t worry, the January 6th indictment will happen soon enough as well. It’s a good reminder that, apart from the isolated details that leak out, we don’t know what all Jack Smith is doing behind the scenes.
