Supreme Court to Review Capitol Riot Charges, Including Trump's Involvement

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal that could potentially overturn hundreds of charges related to the Capitol riot, including those against former President Donald Trump. The appeal challenges the charge of obstruction of an official proceeding, which has been brought against over 300 individuals involved in the riot. The court's decision to review this charge could potentially delay Trump's trial, currently scheduled for March 4. The obstruction charge is widely used in the federal prosecution of the riot, and a ruling in favor of the appeal could have significant implications for other cases. The Supreme Court will hear arguments in March or April, with a decision expected by early summer.
