Supreme Court narrows obstruction charge used in thousands of Jan. 6 Capitol riot cases
In a move that could upend scores of Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot prosecutions, the Supreme Court on Friday, narrowed the use of a charge of obstructing an official proceeding.
“The Government must establish that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or as we earlier explained, other things used in the proceeding, or attempted to do so,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
