最高法院裁定，根据美国法典第 18 条妨碍国会的指控成立。 The Supreme Court ruled that the charge of obstructing Congress under 18 U.S.C. 第 1512(c) 条要求证明被告损害了或试图损害了用于官方诉讼的记录、文件、物品或其他东西在官方诉讼中的可用性或完整性。 § 1512(c) requires proof that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding, or attempted to do so. 这一判决对于起诉与 1 月 6 日国会大厦骚乱有关的个人具有重要影响，并可能影响联邦法院对前总统唐纳德·特朗普审理的四项指控中的两项。 This decision has significant implications for the prosecutions of individuals charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot and may affect two of the four charges pending against former President Donald Trump in federal court.
