"Supreme Court Considers Jan. 6 Obstruction Charge Impact on Trump Case"

The Supreme Court is considering a case involving Joseph Fischer, a Jan. 6 defendant charged with obstructing an official proceeding, as Trump's legal team argues for presidential immunity. The law in question, Title 18, Section 1512(c)(2), criminalizes efforts to obstruct official proceedings, and about 330 Jan. 6 defendants have been charged under this law. Fischer's lawyers argue that the law's scope is limited to evidence tampering and should not apply to his actions. The outcome of this case could impact Trump's legal defense, as he faces similar charges related to his efforts to overturn the election results.
