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 co-defendants 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.

Florida-based federal Judge Aileen Cannon previously issued an injunction blocking the report’s release, but her order expires next month.
