"Supreme Court Weighs Impact of Obstruction Law in Jan. 6 Case"

The Supreme Court is divided over the obstruction charge in the Jan. 6 case, which may impact Trump and the rioters.

The special counsel's office is investigating whether Trump or his associates violated the law in relation to the transfer of power after the 2020 election. Despite facing multiple indictments, Trump is still allowed to run for president.

"Supreme Court's Jan. 6 Case: Impact on Trump and Federal Prosecution"

The US Supreme Court is set to hear a case on April 16 that challenges the Justice Department's use of an Enron-era statute to charge some Capitol riot defendants, including former President Donald Trump, with a 20-year maximum sentence for evidence destruction. The case pits concerns over prosecutorial overreach against the conservative justices' fidelity to statutory language, with some arguing that the statute doesn't fit the Capitol riot context and others contending that the defendants' conduct falls within the intentionally broad language of the statute. The outcome could have implications for the balance of prosecutorial power and the interpretation of criminal statutes.

"Trump's Jan. 6 Trial Uncertain After Supreme Court Ruling on Immunity"

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to hear Donald Trump's immunity claim could delay a trial in the Jan. 6 federal election interference case until late September, potentially allowing him to avoid facing a jury's judgment before the fall election. Legal analysts believe that even if the court rejects Trump's appeal, the trial may not start until after the election, raising doubts about whether he will face a verdict from a jury of his peers before Election Day.

Trump Appeals for Reconsideration of Gag Order in Jan. 6 Case

Former President Donald Trump and his legal team have filed a motion to reverse the gag order in his federal election interference case, which many consider a longshot. The case, brought by the Department of Justice and Special Counsel Jack Smith, relates to Trump's efforts to contest the 2020 election results and the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump is facing four criminal cases and 91 felony charges as he campaigns for the 2024 presidency. The gag order, issued in October, restricts public comments about Smith and the case. Trump's legal team argues that the order violates his First Amendment rights and is seeking an en banc petition with all 15 member judges to reconsider the appeal. Legal experts suggest that Trump's strategy is to delay the trial, potentially until after the 2024 election, in hopes of using the power of the presidency to make the cases go away.

Supreme Court to Decide Jan. 6 Case with Potential Impact on Trump Prosecution

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal brought by a defendant charged with offenses related to the January 6th assault on the U.S. Capitol, a case that could have implications for the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump. The outcome of this case will also impact similar appeals brought by other defendants. Trump himself has been charged with obstructing an official proceeding, and the Supreme Court's decision and timing could affect his case. If the trial is delayed and Trump wins the election, he could potentially have the charges dismissed. The provision of the federal criminal code at issue is being questioned by defendants, who argue that it was not intended to apply to incidents like January 6th. The Supreme Court, with its conservative majority, has previously shown skepticism towards the broad application of criminal statutes.

"Trump's Immunity Claim Shattered by Justice Kavanaugh: Jack Smith's Bold Prosecution"

Jack Smith, the prosecutor in the Jan. 6 case against former President Donald Trump, has appealed directly to the Supreme Court in an effort to expedite the trial before the upcoming election. Trump's team is attempting to delay the case, hoping to drag it out until after the election and potentially drop the charges if he regains the presidency. The Supreme Court's decision to take the case quickly does not guarantee a favorable outcome for Smith, despite the conservative majority. This power struggle has significant political implications, as a conviction before the election could harm Trump's chances.

"Special Counsel Rejects Trump's Attempt to Halt Election Subversion Case"

Special counsel Jack Smith's team opposes former President Donald Trump's request to halt proceedings in the Jan. 6 case, urging the court to deny the request and maintain the March 4 trial date. Smith's prosecutors have disclosed their access to more than a dozen senior former Trump administration intelligence officials, revealing that they asked if any votes were flipped by voting machines in the 2020 election, with every official responding no. This filing is in response to Trump's request for access to classified information relevant to his defense in the case. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to overturn the election results and subvert democracy.

Trump's Legal Team's Desperate Attempts to Dismiss Jan. 6 Case

Donald Trump's legal team has filed three additional motions to dismiss the federal prosecution of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Legal experts say the arguments are absurd and unlikely to result in dismissal. Trump's defenses include claiming that the election being stolen cannot be proven, arguing that he is the subject of a witch hunt led by Joe Biden, asserting that his impeachment protects him from double jeopardy, and denying that his "Stop the Steal" campaign constituted deceit or trickery. Experts believe the evidence against Trump is overwhelming and that his defenses are unlikely to succeed.

Trump's Gag Order Battle: A Threat to Intimidation and Kid-Gloves Treatment

Former President Donald Trump has been issued a partial gag order by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan in the federal Jan. 6 case, preventing him from making statements criticizing prosecutors, court staff, their families, or discussing possible witnesses or testimony. However, the order does not restrict Trump from attacking the Justice Department or claiming the case is politically motivated. Trump criticized the order as unconstitutional and vowed to appeal. The judge warned of potential sanctions if the order is violated. Trump is facing multiple criminal indictments and is scheduled for trial on March 4, 2024.

"Prosecutors Seek Gag Order as Trump's Remarks on Milley Raise Concerns"

Special counsel Jack Smith's office cited Trump's social media attack on Gen. Mark Milley, where he suggested Milley should be executed for treason, as justification for their push to impose a gag order on Trump ahead of his Jan. 6 case. Prosecutors argue that the gag order is necessary to prevent Trump from making prejudicial public statements about the case and attacking witnesses. Trump's lawyers have objected to the request, and a hearing has been set for October 16th.
