Supreme Court of the United States

Fischer v. United States

June 28, 2024603 U.S. 480

Summary

The Court held that to convict under 18 U.S.C. §1512(c)(2), the government must show the defendant impaired the availability or integrity of records, documents, objects, or other things used in an official proceeding, limiting the statute's reach to evidence‑related obstruction rather than all obstructive conduct.
