Donald Trump's legal team is making a case before a federal judge to have one of the four criminal charges against him dismissed. The charge in question is related to his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The argument put forth by Trump's lawyers is based on a recent Supreme Court ruling that impacts how prosecutors handle obstruction cases.
In a court filing submitted on Thursday, Trump's defense team referenced the Supreme Court's decision in US v Fischer, which has implications for obstruction charges. This ruling has already led to the dropping of such charges against some January 6 riot defendants and the resentencing of others.
