The Biden administration has been criticized for using lawfare against political opponents, but a recent Supreme Court case, Joseph W. Fischer v. United States, may have significant implications for the prosecution of Jan. 6 Capitol incursion cases.
The case questions the broad application of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to events like Jan. 6, and its outcome could impact the prosecution of Trump and other defendants.
The Special Counsel for the DOJ faces legal complexities in deciding whether to proceed with trials before the Supreme Court ruling, while Trump pursues a presidential immunity appeal.
At issue is whether prosecutors & DOJ have been improperly using a 2002 law originally aimed at curbing financial crimes to prosecute a Jan. 6 defendant. Should the court side w/Fischer, it would also call into question the use of the law against Trump. https://t.co/Hgsnrs0GFD

The case is seen as a potential game-changer, causing unease for the DOJ and offering hope to Jan. 6 defendants.
