The upcoming court case will determine whether January 6th defendants can be charged under 1512C2, a statute typically used for evidence tampering. Currently, approximately 350 individuals have been charged with this felony, carrying up to 20 years in prison, for their roles in the Capitol riot. The case revolves around whether the electoral certification on January 6th qualifies as an official government proceeding and if the government's obstruction definition applies. The Supreme Court is reviewing this issue following a dismissal by Judge Carl Nichols, which could result in charges being dropped for the defendants, including President Trump, who faces two related charges. The outcome will impact hundreds of individuals involved in the January 6th events, raising significant legal arguments from both sides.
