Supreme Court gives skeptical eye to key statute used to prosecute Jan. 6 rioters

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.

5 Reasons Biden Should Negotiate a Deal to Free Assange: Resolving the case would enhance the administration’s tarnished human rights image.

Quick Glance: Julian Assange: UK Court Delays US Extradition

A British court ruled that Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the United States unless U.S. authorities guarantee he won't face the death penalty.

Assange will remain in London's Belmarsh Prison as the legal battle continues.

Judges emphasized the need for Assange to receive the same protections as a U.S. citizen and to be spared from the death penalty.

The U.S. Justice Department declined to comment, while Assange's supporters argue for his rights as a journalist under the First Amendment.

Document shows US Department of Justice rejects Turkey's labeling of dissidents as terrorists - Nordic Monitor

nordicmonitor.com/2024/03/document-shows-us-department-of-justice-rejects-turkeys-labeling-of-dissidents-as-terrorists/

Quick Glance: US Rejects Turkey's Labeling of Dissidents as Terrorists

The US Department of Justice denied Turkey's request for assistance in taking the statement of a Turkish dissident within the scope of a terrorism investigation, citing freedom of expression and the First Amendment. Critics of the Erdogan government abroad were often denied consular services and had their passports revoked.

On September 12, 2023, the US competent authority received a request from Turkish authorities for legal assistance. The Turkish government accepted activities such as having an account at the Gülen-affiliated Bank Asya, holding an administrative position at a Gülen movement-linked institution, and subscribing to the group’s publications as benchmarks for identifying and arresting followers of the Gülen movement.

The US authorities declined the request, citing constitutional protections under the First Amendment. Both the American judiciary and the European Court of Human Rights have ruled that Turkey's allegations against members of the Gülen movement lack legal basis. Turkish diplomats were previously found profiling dissenters in the US, accessing travel records of a US resident critical of the Turkish government.

According to a confidential document from the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Turkish diplomats collected the travel records of a doctor known for his political views and alleged affiliation with the Gülen movement. The doctor, facing politically motivated criminal prosecution, had to relocate to the US to avoid imprisonment, yet Turkish diplomats continued to track his activities and report to Ankara.
