DOJ: What we filed is superseding complaint. The way we read the rules -- I admit it's novel -- I had not done this before. Our reading is that to issue a superseding complaint, that does not require probable cause. If we were seeking an arrest warrant, it would.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
