"Supreme Court's Leanings on Jan. 6 Rioter Obstruction Case and Trump Implications"
Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism toward an obstruction charge brought by the Justice Department against a Capitol rioter, Joseph Fischer, with potential implications for the prosecution of Donald Trump. The case involves the application of an obstruction provision in the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the justices signaled concerns about its broad interpretation. The ruling, expected by the end of June, could impact the prosecution of other Jan. 6 defendants and Trump's obstruction-related charges.
