Trump and Co-Defendants Seek to Block Release of Jack Smith's Final Report on Classified Documents and Election Interference
Jan 7, 2025, 03:44 AM
President-elect Donald Trump and his former co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, are seeking to block the release of a two-volume final report by Special Counsel Jack Smith, which they believe is imminent. The report addresses the now-dismissed cases involving classified documents and election interference. Trump's lawyers have reviewed a draft of the report over the weekend and argue that its release would be unlawful and politically motivated. They have urged Attorney General Merrick Garland to remove Smith and defer the decision on the report's release to Trump's incoming administration. Meanwhile, Nauta and De Oliveira's lawyers have filed an emergency motion with Judge Aileen Cannon, who previously dismissed the classified documents case citing Smith's unconstitutional appointment, to prevent the report's release. They contend that the report would unfairly prejudice any future legal proceedings against them.
