"Supreme Court Considers Jan. 6 Obstruction Charges, Impact on Trump"

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether the federal obstruction charge can be used against January 6 rioters, a case that could also impact former President Donald Trump's legal troubles. The charge, which can add up to 20 years to a prison sentence, has significant ramifications for both the defendants and the Justice Department. The court's decision may also affect Trump's separate state charges in New York. The case revolves around the interpretation of a law enacted in 2002 and its application to the Capitol attack, with potential political implications and consequences for future cases.
