Welcome back, Deadline: Legal Newsletter readers. We’re almost done with this Supreme Court term’s rulings, which are set to conclude Monday with Donald Trump’s immunity case among the final decisions. But the court issued several important rulings this week, including another Jan. 6-related case that could also affect Trump’s. The other case is Fischer v. United States, in which the court sided with a Jan. 6 defendant on the scope of the federal charge of obstructing an official proceeding.
But his case is different in that he isn’t charged with storming the Capitol but rather with allegedly engaging in a broader conspiracy to subvert the 2020 election. So even under the law’s now more-limited scope, special counsel Jack Smith may still be able to go forward with those charges against Trump, though it may require more litigation to figure that out. But first, we need the immunity decision to see what’s next in Trump’s case, including when it might go to trial, if ever.
