Supreme Court Considers Trump's Liability for January 6 Incitement

The Supreme Court is set to consider whether to hear appeals brought by defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, which could have implications for the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The defendants are seeking to dismiss charges of obstructing an official proceeding, the same offense Trump is charged with. If the court rejects the appeals, the charges against the defendants would proceed. However, if the court takes up the cases, it could lead to a delay in Trump's trial and potentially impact the outcome. The Supreme Court's involvement could provide an opportunity for Trump to delay his trial until the case is resolved.
