"Supreme Court Reviewing Obstruction Charges in Jan. 6 Cases, Impact on Trump"
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court will hear a case that could impact federal charges against former President Donald J. Trump and the prosecutions of Capitol rioters, focusing on whether a provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to the conduct of a former police officer involved in the Capitol assault. The law, enacted in 2002, was prompted by accounting fraud and the destruction of documents, and its interpretation could affect the charges against Trump and hundreds of rioters.
