Supreme Court Rules on Obstruction Charges for Jan. 6 Cases
News summary

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of former police officer Joseph Fischer, stating that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding must involve trying to tamper with or destroy documents, potentially impacting Jan. 6 defendants. This decision could affect cases like those of Edward Lang and Garret Miller, who are seeking to dismiss obstruction charges related to the Capitol assault. Meanwhile, a letter from Donald Trump's lawyer seeks to set aside his guilty verdict on 34 felony counts following the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. The Court's ruling grants former presidents immunity for official acts but not for unofficial ones, a decision that could lead to a pre-trial determination of Trump's actions' official nature in the January 6 case, potentially affecting his political standing and delaying the trial process.
