They are in response to a US Supreme Court ruling last month that said presidents enjoy broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office.
The revised indictment lays out the same four criminal counts against Trump - which he denies - but they now relate to his status as a political candidate rather than a sitting president.
It appears unlikely that the case - and other criminal cases faced by the Republican - will reach court before this year's election on 5 November.
As well as denying allegations of election interference, Trump has maintained his claim - without evidence - that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
The revised indictment, brought by Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith, leaves in place the four crimes Trump is accused of committing: conspiracy to defraud the US, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, attempting to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.
Trump has previously pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The former president's personal lawyer - Todd Blanche - referred the BBC to the Trump campaign, which did not respond to a request for comment.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the new indictment was "an effort to resurrect a 'dead' Witch Hunt" and "distract the American People" from the election.
He called for it to be "dismissed IMMEDIATELY".
A source close to Trump's legal team told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that the new indictment "was not a surprise".
"This is what the government is supposed to do based on what the Supreme Court did," the source said. "It doesn't change our position that we believe Smith's case is flawed and it should be dismissed."
The new charging document - which was slimmed down from 45 to 36 pages - re-works the language of the allegations and refines the ways it argues that the former president allegedly committed these crimes to comport with the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity.
For example, the new indictment drops the claim that Trump tried to pressure justice department officials to work to overturn his defeat. The high court ruled that Trump's direction to justice officials was not illegal.
The special counsel's office explained its reasoning in a statement.
It said the superseding indictment had been presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in the case.
A grand jury is set up by a prosecutor to determine whether there is enough evidence to pursue a prosecution.
The justice department declined to comment further.
