WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former police officer who is seeking to throw out an obstruction charge for joining the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, in a ruling that could benefit former President Donald Trump. The justices on a 6-3 vote handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan.
In his election interference case, Trump faces four charges, including one count of obstructing an official proceeding and another of conspiracy to do so. In a separate case, the Supreme Court is considering Trump’s claim of presidential immunity in the election interference case, which will also affect whether all the charges remain in place ahead of a trial. On Jan. 6, 2021, prosecutors said, Fischer joined the crowd breaching the Capitol from the east side.
