Judge temporarily blocks release of special counsel report on Trump classified-documents case
U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon barred special counsel Jack Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland from sharing the report while a federal appeals court weighs whether making it public would unfairly harm Donald Trump’s two codefendants.
The federal judge in Florida who dismissed Donald Trump’s indictment for allegedly mishandling classified documents has temporarily blocked the Justice Department from releasing Speical counsel Jack Smith’s report detailing the findings of that investigation.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon barred Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland from “releasing, sharing, or transmitting” the report or any drafts or conclusions from it while a federal appeals court in Atlanta weighs an emergency motion from two of the president-elect’s former co-defendants.
