Supreme Court makes prosecution of Trump on obstruction charge more difficult, with ruling to narrowly define law used against him and Jan. 6 rioters

Government prosecutors, ruled the Supreme Court, stretched the meaning of a law that’s been used to prosecute those alleged to have participated in the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol.
