Jack Smith Revises Indictment Against Trump
Jack Smith Revises Indictment Against Trump
Special counsel Jack Smith filed an updated indictment against former President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday in response to the Supreme Court's ruling that he enjoyed some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution.

In Trump v. United States, a majority of the Supreme Court held that presidents enjoyed several tiers of immunity from prosecution: absolute immunity for acts that fall within their "conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority," a presumption of immunity for their official acts, and no immunity for unofficial acts.

The special counsel said in the court filing that a new grand jury had approved the same charges against Trump as in the original indictment. The new indictment narrows the allegations against the former president by removing allegations involving his interactions with the Justice Department. It no longer lists as a co-conspirator former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark. Trump responded on Truth Social by calling the new indictment "shocking" and calling for its immediate dismissal.

Water Fears

More than 52 percent of survey respondents "anticipate serious harm from drinking water in the next two years," according to a recent study conducted across 141 countries. Researchers from Northwestern University and UNC found that in the United States, despite over 97 percent of the population having access to clean water, around 40 percent of people anticipated harm.

The findings showed that having clean water access is not about building more infrastructure, "but a lot more about public perceptions of safety and trust," the study's lead author, Joshua Miller, told The Epoch Times.

But perceptions may not be wrong, he added: "People have a good sense through taste and smell and historical experiences of experiencing harm from water knowing whether it's safe or not to drink water." And perceptions about water quality drive other behaviors, like buying bottled water, opting for processed foods, or dining out more, all of which can be expensive, unhealthy, or both, according to Sera Young, the study's senior author.

Harris Agrees to 1st Interview

Thirty-nine days after launching her presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris will sit down for her first televised interview as the Democratic nominee for the White House. The Aug. 29 interview will be conducted by Dana Bash, CNN's chief political correspondent and anchor, at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday.  

Harris will give the interview alongside her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz. Harris and Walz are hitting the campaign trail this week on a bus tour that will take them through Georgia, a key battleground state. The interview will be the first time Harris has sat with the media for an interview since President Joe Biden exited the race on July 21 and endorsed her as his successor.

Harris has moved fast since launching her campaign, facing a considerably shortened window of time to define herself and her platform, while seeking inroads with voters outside the Democratic Party's base. Republicans, including former President Donald Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), have criticized Harris for not taking extended interviews with the press, instead only giving limited, off-the-record gaggles with reporters during campaign travel.
