Judge clears the way for release of special counsel’s report on Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case

The Hindu  

The Justice Department can publicly release its investigative report on President-elect Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case, a federal judge said on Monday — the latest ruling in a court dispute over the highly anticipated document days before Mr. Trump is set to take office again. Judge Cannon's latest order on Monday cleared the way for the release of the volume on Mr. Trump's 2020 election interference case. But even as Judge Cannon permitted the release of the volume on election interference, she halted the Justice Department from immediately sharing with congressional officials a separate volume related to Mr. Trump’s hoarding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Lawyers for the Republican president elect's two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira, had argued that the release of the report would prejudice them given that criminal proceedings remain ongoing against them in the form of a Justice Department appeal of Judge Cannon’s dismissal of charges.
