Quick Glance: Senate Passes Legislation Requiring Sale of TikTok's Parent Company or Face Ban

Quick Glance: GOP Congresswoman Propagates Russian Narratives Against Ukraine Aid
  • Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced amendments to the latest bill on aid to Ukraine, echoing Russian propaganda narratives about "biolabs in Ukraine" and "persecution of Christians in Ukraine."

  • Greene proposed halting funding for Ukraine's aid until free and fair elections are held, persecution of Christians stops, and all biolabs in Ukraine are closed.

  • The allegation of secret "biolabs" in Ukraine is a long-standing Russian propaganda conspiracy theory, also picked up by Chinese disinformation networks according to the EU East Stratcom Task Force.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson announced determination to advance the foreign aid bill on April 20, despite opposition from GOP hardliners who have blocked progress for over six months.

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.
