TL;DR Summary

Conservative attorney George Conway has highlighted a "huge" legal development that could affect former President Donald Trump after a federal appeals court upheld a decision that would have overturned an obstruction charge used against January 6 defendants. The obstruction of an official proceeding charge would be used against hundreds of defendants arrested in connection with the riot at the U.S. Capitol building that occurred on January 6, 2021. Trump is being investigated over his alleged involvement in the events that unfolded that day when he told his supporters to "fight like hell" after he lost the 2020 presidential election.
