WASHINGTON >> The Supreme Court today questioned whether federal prosecutors went too far in bringing obstruction charges against hundreds of participants in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. But it wasn’t clear how the justices would rule in a case that also could affect the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, who faces the same charge for his efforts to overturn his election loss in 2020.
Despite his wife’s backing of Donald Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 presidential election, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has ignored calls to recuse himself from recent Jan. 6-related appeals. Perhaps it’s unsurprising, then, that his questioning Tuesday in such a case appeared to downplay the insurrection.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Neil M....

The White House Thursday deflected House Speaker Mike Johnson‘s (R-LA) request to send National Guard assets to police pro-Gaza protests at Columbia University, saying it’s New York Gov.
