The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that prosecutors and judges used a charge too liberally at times in cases related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and the decision is poised to directly affect some defendants involved in the 2021 breach.

In a 6–3 decision, the high court limited the scope of an obstruction charge that prosecutors brought against former Pennsylvania police officer Joseph Fischer, former President Donald Trump, and about 350 others, but legal experts say that only a subset of those defendants will see changes in their court cases.
