Judge Aileen Cannon Temporarily Blocks Release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's Report on Trump Investigations
Jan 7, 2025, 05:08 PM
President-elect Donald Trump and his former co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, have moved to block the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report on investigations into Trump's handling of classified documents and alleged interference in the 2020 election. The report, comprising two volumes, addresses the concluded federal probes. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who previously dismissed the classified documents case in Florida, has temporarily barred the Department of Justice from releasing the report, pending a decision by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge's order enjoins Attorney General Merrick Garland from releasing any portion of the report for the next three days or until further court proceedings. Trump's legal team filed an emergency motion and argued that the report lacks legal authority, urging Garland to prevent its release.
