Fates of January 6 Rioters and Trump in Balance as Supreme Court Weighs Obstruction Charge
• Several January 6 rioters have been released early from prison ahead of a Supreme Court review that could overturn their convictions • The review centers on whether prosecutors properly used an obstruction charge instead of sedition or insurrection charges • Two federal judges have argued the obstruction charge only applies to tampering with evidence, not interrupting Congress • If the Supreme Court overturns use of the charge, it could impact over 350 rioters' convictions and sentences • The decision could also affect the election interference case against former President Donald Trump
