Supreme Court Ruling Prompts Dropping of Jan. 6 Obstruction Charges Against Over 400 Defendants
Jul 16, 2024, 05:26 PM
The Supreme Court has recently limited the scope of an obstruction statute used against over 400 defendants from the January 6 Capitol riot. This important ruling has prompted federal prosecutors to begin dropping charges accusing these defendants of obstructing Congress’s confirmation of the 2020 presidential election results. The Biden Department of Justice is attempting to salvage the remaining charges following this significant legal setback. The ruling has provided a glimmer of hope for many of the defendants, including members of the Proud Boys, who are now being offered plea deals.
