Donald Trump’s criminal cases: Judge temporarily blocks release of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation report

Live Mint  

A federal judge in Florida blocked the Justice Department from releasing a report on two criminal probes of Donald Trump, setting up a potential legal fight between the president-elect and the prosecutors that investigated him. US District Judge Aileen Cannon said she was temporarily prohibiting public release of the findings of Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s investigations into Trump. Former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade said on MSNBC during an interview Tuesday that “Judge Cannon does not have jurisdiction” over Smith’s cases but “the name of the game is delay.” May Delay Release While Cannon’s order might not be enforceable, it could cause the department to delay public release of Smith’s report as federal prosecutors work through their response. Nauta and De Oliveira filed emergency motions with Cannon and the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals seeking orders to prevent Smith, Garland or anyone at the Justice Department from releasing Smith’s final report, saying it was their understanding that the report could be made public as early as Friday. Cannon said the order blocking release of Smith’s report is necessary “to prevent irreparable harm” to Trump and two associates until the court of appeals decides what to do.
