DOJ Asks Judge to Block Release of Report on Trump’s Classified Documents Investigation

Releasing the report of former special counsel Jack Smith would prejudice Trump and two codefendants by making sensitive information public, the DOJ stated.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) told a federal court on Jan. 23 that it should bar the release of former special counsel Jack Smith’s report on the classified documents investigation into President Donald Trump.

Judge Aileen Cannon, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, previously issued an injunction blocking the report’s release, but her order expires next month.
