A federal judge ruled that the Justice Department can release special counsel Jack Smith's investigative report on former President Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case. Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Trump, previously temporarily blocked the release but lifted the restriction on Monday. She set a hearing for Friday to determine if the department can release the volume on Trump's classified documents case to lawmakers.
WASHINGTON — A federal judge said Monday that the Justice Department can release special counsel Jack Smith’s investigative report on President-elect Donald Trump 's 2020 election interference case.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, is latest back and forth in a court dispute over the report from the special counsel who prosecuted Trump in two cases the Justice Department abandoned in November. Cannon had earlier temporarily blocked the department from releasing the report. Cannon's latest order on Monday cleared the way for the release of the volume on Trump's 2020 election interference case.
She set a hearing for Friday on whether the department can release to lawmakers the volume on Trump's classified documents case. The department has said it will not publicly disclose that volume as long as criminal proceedings against two of Trump’s co-defendants remain pending.
