Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter
  • The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

  • During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

  • A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

  • The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Quick Glance: Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush-Money Trial

Late Capitol Police Officer's Family Slams Trump Attending NYPD Funeral
Quick Glance: Significant Funds Raised for Family of Slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller
  • A substantial amount of money has been collected so far for the family of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, a wave of generosity from the general population to billionaires who are shocked by the tragedy - and tired of a faulty criminal justice system and anti-political politicians.

  • Among the major donors are Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who pledged to adjust the impressive $750,000 raised for Diller's one-year-old son Ryan and his widow Stephanie through the online store of his website - totaling $1.5 million.

  • The Silver Shield Foundation stated that they received well over 100 contributions in a single day to support Diller's family.

  • Despite his severe injury, Diller managed to grab Rivera's weapon after it fell to the ground. The officer's partner fired two shots, at least one of which hit Rivera in the back, according to the police.
