Release of January 6 Defendants on Federal Judges' Orders Pending Supreme Court Appeal
Some January 6 defendants are being released from prison pending an appeal in the United States Supreme Court, with judges citing the possibility of felony convictions being overturned due to the high-court review in the Fischer v. United States case. The case has implications for over 100 defendants and also affects former President Donald Trump's federal case regarding the 2020 election results.
