Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Novel Legal Strategy for Jan 6
Prosecutors are using a novel legal argument to charge January 6th defendants with "corruptly obstructing an official proceeding," a law originally passed as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act following the Enron scandal. While the law was intended for financial document destruction, judges in D.C. have so far allowed it to apply to the certification of the election. This charge carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence.
