Judge Aileen Cannon blocked special counsel Jack Smith from releasing his final report from his investigation into President-elect Donald Trump until the court has time to review an emergency motion from two Trump co-defendants. 

Smith was set to publish the report on both of the federal investigations of Trump in the coming days and Trump’s legal team made a last minute push to halt the release yesterday. The president-elect’s team asked Attorney General Merrick Garland not to release the report, arguing that the decision should rest with the incoming Trump administration, and claimed that releasing it would illegally interfere with the presidential transition.

Trump’s legal team was reportedly allowed to review the two-volume report, which would present Smith’s narrative of the evidence he gathered in the cases. It centers on the classified documents case and Trump’s alleged efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election. 

The request from the Trump camp came the same day that attorneys for two of Trump’s former co-defendants in the classified documents case asked Judge Aileen Cannon to issue an emergency order that bars Smith from releasing his report on the classified documents case by Jan. 10.
