The Supreme Court’s pattern of rejecting expansive interpretations of federal criminal statutes will be put to the test in a case set for argument this Tuesday that could have significant implications for the federal prosecution of former-President Trump. Fischer v. United States will address whether a post-Enron obstruction statute under which Trump also is charged applies to the January 6, 2021 physical breach of the U.S. Capitol. In our latest article, “Testing SCOTUS’s ‘Unmistakable Trend’ in Shadow of Trump Prosecution,” we analyze the parties’ arguments in Fischer and explore the potential impact of the Court’s ruling. We hope you enjoy.
