[quote=Anonymous]Supreme Court to hear whether obstruction of an official proceeding – 18 USC 1512c – can be used to prosecute January 6 riot defendants who impeded Congress — one of the charges against Trump in the federal 2020 election case. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, granted defendant Joseph Fischer's pretrial motion to dismiss his obstruction charges, ruling that the statute applied only in cases in which a defendant had taken "some action with respect to a document, record or other object." Federal prosecutors appealed that ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. A divided three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit in April reversed Nichols' ruling, saying the statute was not limited to documents and records, but instead "applies to all forms of corrupt obstruction of an official proceeding." https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-weigh-challenge-jan-6-obstruction-charge-2023-12-13/[/quote]
