"Supreme Court's Jan. 6 Case: Impact on Trump and Rioters"

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments about the validity of an obstruction law used against one-fourth of the defendants charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, a decision that could potentially benefit Donald Trump. Former police officer Joseph Fischer is challenging the law, arguing that it targets document shredding, not blocking a meeting. The outcome could impact over 300 defendants, with some already being released pending appeals. Additionally, the law is also relevant to Trump's federal election interference case, as two of the charges against him rely on the same law being challenged.
