US Congress reconvenes for counting of electoral votes after Capitol siege
After violent demonstrations by outgoing US President Donald Trump's supporters at US Capitol in Washington DC briefly halted the certification process of President-elect Joe Bien, the Congress reconvened in both House of Representatives and Senate to resume the counting of electoral votes.
Democrat Senator from New Hampshire, Cynthia Jeanne Shaheen, said, "For the sake of our great country and America's standing in the world, I ask my colleagues to fully endorse the result of free and fair election.
We should be venerating peaceful transfer of power." Condemning the mob violence, Minority Leader in House of Representatives and RepublicanKevin McCarthy said, "We are all Americans first, we should also think for a moment what we put on social media.
What we convey to one another just because you have an opinion different than mine.
We should all stand together in condemning the mob."
Congressman Clay Higgins reported that the body of Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, was unexpectedly released for cremation 10 days after the incident. Higgins, investigating the July 13 attack in Butler, Pennsylvania, raised concerns about potential obstruction of justice. He detailed Crooks' actions, noting eight shots fired before Crooks was killed. Higgins questioned the FBI's handling of evidence and the shooter's strategic positioning.

Donald Trump is asking the judge in his New York hush money criminal case to delay his sentencing until after the November presidential election. Sky News
Supreme Court Rules That , Some Jan. 6 Defendants, Were Improperly Charged.
NPR reports that the United States Supreme Court voted to limit which defendants accused of taking part in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot can be charged by federal prosecutors.
The decision also casts doubt on two out of
the four felony counts in former President
Donald Trump's election subversion indictment.
According to conservative Chief Justice John Roberts,
the court ruled that the U.S. government must prove , “that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity
for use in an official proceeding of records, documents,
objects, or other things used in an official proceeding.”.
NPR reports that prosecutors relied
on a key criminal statute to prosecute
over 350 participants of the Capitol riot.
The statute makes it a crime to alter or
destroy official documents, or to otherwise
obstruct or impede official proceedings.
Roberts wrote that the statute was
not meant to broaden the meaning of
the law to make it a catchall provision. .
The decision will impact other cases related
to Jan. 6, many of which will have to be
resentenced, retried or defendants will be released. .
NYU law professor Ryan Goodman authored
a study that found only 346 of the 1,417 people
charged in connection with the Capitol riot
were charged under the obstruction statute.
The study also found that 71 people are still
awaiting trial on the obstruction charge, but over
half of them are also charged with another felony.
NPR points out that if found guilty of other felony charges,
the sentencing judge is still allowed to use the charge of
obstruction to determine the length of their sentence.
