美国最高法院裁定,要指控国会骚乱被告妨碍司法公正,必须提供企图篡改或销毁文件的证据。 The US Supreme Court ruled that to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, proof of attempted document tampering or destruction must be provided. 这种对妨碍司法公正法的狭义解释可能会影响数百起起诉,其中包括华盛顿针对前总统唐纳德·特朗普的刑事案件。 This narrowed interpretation of the obstruction law could impact hundreds of prosecutions, including the criminal case in Washington against former President Donald Trump. 法院的判决影响了约 350 名因 2021 年 1 月 6 日国会大厦袭击事件而被指控妨碍司法公正的人,并且可能会重新审视其他国会大厦骚乱案件。 The court's decision affects approximately 350 people charged with obstruction in connection with the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol, and could revisit other Capitol riot cases.
