Conservatives have raised concern about an assertion made by the DOJ during arguments in Fischer v. United States.

A man charged in connection to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol accused a Department of Justice lawyer of lying to the Supreme Court during arguments in a case that could upend convictions related to the riot.

'The DOJ wanted me to plead to 1512 with a range of 41 to 51 months even though their own prosecutor acknowledged that I was 'entirely peaceful' and didn't destroy anything. Prelogar was straight up lying to the Supreme Court during yesterday's hearing,' he wrote.
