NEW: Pres. Biden spokesperson on Supreme Court Jan 6 "obstruction" ruling:
"Violent insurrectionists and those who encourage them must be held accountable, but Donald Trump thinks otherwise. Just last night, Trump again defended January 6 and the insurrectionists who violently assaulted law enforcement officers and tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Today’s ruling does not change the fundamental truth that Donald Trump will always put himself over our democracy"

Atty General Merrick Garland on Supreme Court ruling:
"The vast majority of the more than 1,400 defendants charged for their illegal actions on January 6 will not be affected by this decision. There are no cases in which the Department charged a January 6 defendant only with the offense at issue in Fischer. For the cases affected by today’s decision, the Department will take appropriate steps to comply with the Court’s ruling"
