Trump spent years trying to undermine Jack Smith. Now he wants to block special counsel’s final word

CNN  

CNN — District Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday blocked the public release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on his investigations into President-elect Donald Trump. The issue of Smith’s final report being made public now moves to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, with Cannon’s order Tuesday preventing Smith or the Justice Department from transmitting the report outside the DOJ while the appeals court considers the emergency request from Trump’s former co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira. The special counsel’s office indicated the report would have two volumes: likely one related to the documents case and another related to the separate January 6, 2021-related federal charges against Trump. Under the current regime of special counsel regulations, Trump’s lawyers claimed to Garland, the “DOJ has not released a single Special Counsel report concerning any individual who has mounted a successful defense in court, as President Trump has done with respect to Presidential immunity.” It has also been department policy and practice to redact information in special counsel reports that pertain to ongoing DOJ cases.
