AP News, I'm Ed Donahue, Chief Justice John Roberts says the last Supreme Court rulings for this session will be announced Monday. That includes a ruling on whether former President Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution. As far as the rulings today, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of a former police officer charged with obstruction in connection with the Capitol riot. Justice has ruled 6 to 3. The charge of obstructing an official proceeding must include proof that the accused tried to tamper with documents, that's based on a law from 2002 surrounding the Enron financial scandal. As it relates to some of the Capitol rioters, only a small group of those charged fall into that category. The case against the former police officer Joseph Fisher of Pennsylvania is now being sent back to a lower court, but experts say this decision could be used by Donald Trump and his Republican allies to show they can't be charged with obstruction in connection with the January 6th insurrection.
