Florida district judge Aileen Cannon has allowed the Justice Department to release the first part of special counsel Jack Smith's report on the investigation and charges against President-elect Donald Trump related to the 2020 presidential election. Trump's former co-defendants tried to block the release, but their motion was denied. The DOJ has been in court battles over the release of the report, with volume two about classified documents being withheld to avoid interfering with another case. Trump has argued against the report's release, claiming the special counsel's appointment was unlawful and that it could harm his transition to the White House. Appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court could still be made to prevent the report's publication.
