Judge blocks release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump investigations

Firstpost  

US District Judge Aileen Cannon’s order prevents Smith and the Justice Department from moving forward with releasing the report until the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals has time to review the emergency motion by Trump’s codefendants to block the report’s release, according to a report Special counsel Jack Smith speaks to the media about an indictment of former President Donald Trump, on August 1, 2023, at an office of the Department of Justice in Washington. AP File US District Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday blocked the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on his investigations into President-elect Donald Trump. He also criticised Judge Juan Merchan and his handling of the hush money case and praised Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to block the public release of Smith’s final report on his investigations into Trump. Using language that mimicked Trump’s own attacks on Smith and his work, Blanche told Garland that the “release of any confidential report prepared by this out-of-control private citizen unconstitutionally posing as a prosecutor would be nothing more than a lawless political stunt, designed to politically harm President Trump and justify the huge sums of taxpayer money Smith unconstitutionally spent on his failed and dismissed cases.” The letter was attached in an exhibit to an emergency request filed late Monday in federal court by lawyers for Trump’s codefendants in the documents case, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira.
