Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter
  • The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

  • During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

  • A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

  • The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Quick Glance: Supreme Court Rejects Fast-Tracking Prosecution in Trump Case
  • The Supreme Court refuses to immediately rule on Jack Smith's plea to prosecute Donald Trump for election subversion.

  • The case is now in the hands of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which intends to act quickly.

  • With the justices staying out of the dispute, additional appeals are likely that could delay the case.

  • The decision avoids a swift ruling that could have dismissed Trump's immunity claims and raises the possibility of further delays through additional appeals.
