The Supreme Court will hear a challenge to a charge brought against Donald Trump and January 6 rioters.
  • The Supreme Court is taking on a case challenging a charge that many Jan. 6 rioters — and Trump — face. 
  • The case hinges on whether rioters could be prosecuted for criminal "obstruction" of Congress. 
  • The court's ruling could have implications for Donald Trump and hundreds of January 6 defendants. 

The US Supreme Court accepted a case on Wednesday that could be a legal lifeline for former President Donald Trump's DC election interference case.
