0:00.0	Donald Trump was dealt a new indictment. I'm Elizabeth Mitchell and this is the Daily Signal
0:07.0	top news for Wednesday, August 28th. Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a new indictment against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday,
0:25.6	but it contains no new charges. Smith's new indictment is a revision of his previous four charges that accused Trump of interfering in the 2020 election
0:34.0	after losing. Trump pleaded not guilty to all four of those original charges.
0:39.3	The prosecutor narrowed his approach after the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have broad immunity from criminal prosecution.

1:31.5	The charge focuses on Trump's role as a political candidate

1:45.5	Trump's running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, called the new indictment a classic example
1:50.1	of lipstick on a pig.
1:52.4	Trump called the indictment ridiculous in a truth
1:54.7	social post and said it should be dismissed immediately.
1:59.4	Israeli troops launched a large-scale military operation Wednesday in the West Bank.
