"Supreme Court Reviewing Jan. 6 Obstruction Case with Potential Impact on Trump and Rioters"

The Supreme Court is reviewing a federal obstruction law used to prosecute individuals involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with the case of a former police officer at the center. The court is considering the statute's applicability to obstructing a congressional proceeding, with arguments focusing on Congress's intent and the law's potential impact on plea bargaining. A decision in favor of the defendant could have significant implications for previously convicted Jan. 6 defendants, and may also impact the criminal case pending against former President Donald Trump.
