Trump’s Mar-a-Lago judge just made sure Jack Smith’s final report won’t see the light of day - Judge Aileen Cannon is blocking top lawmakers from privately viewing a report on the classified documents

The Justice Department has asked a federal appeals court to move swiftly in reversing a judge’s order that had blocked the agency from releasing any part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigative report on Donald Trump.

Jack Smith rebuked Trump for claiming his two criminal cases were politically motivated, calling the president-elect's claims "laughable."

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday issued a harsh order halting the release of the special counsel's report into Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents The post ‘No valid justification’: Cannon slams DOJ’s ‘urgent desire’ to release Jack Smith’s full Trump report based on a ‘non-existent historical practice’ first appeared on Law & Crime.

Jack Smith's report says prosecutors could have convicted Trump had his election win not prevented the case from proceeding.

The first part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his now-closed investigations into President-elect Trump was released Tuesday, days before he will be sworn into office.

Smith's report provides new details about election-interference charges against Trump, says he believes election victory saved him from conviction.

The special counsel says he stands fully behind his decision to bring criminal charges against the president-elect and says he believes Trump would have been convicted had he not won the 2024 election.

The so-called documents case refers to Smith's probe into whether Trump left the White House in 2021 with classified documents.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon barred the Justice Department from sending the report to the heads of the House and Senate judiciary committees.

Judge Aileen M. Cannon said prosecutors should not be allowed to share the report outside the Justice Department, adding that it contained information that had not been made public.
