The Supreme Court still has to rule on major decisions this term, including cases involving Donald Trump’s presidential immunity, Jan. 6 obstruction and social media.
About 80 percent of Jan. 6 Capitol breach prosecutions don’t involve the charge rejected by the high court. By the numbers, more than 1,400 people have been federally charged in the deadly Jan. 6 attack, including about 517 charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding police, and 137 who allegedly used weapons such as pipes and flagpoles or caused serious bodily injury, according to the Justice Department.
By comparison, roughly 250 of that total have been convicted of or face a pending obstruction of an official proceeding charge. About 110 of those defendants await trial or sentencing and might benefit from greater leverage in plea talks, or by a lower sentence, now that the Supreme Court has ruled.
