A federal judge said on Feb. 23 that the final report on President Donald Trump compiled by a former special counsel shall not be released.

Judge Aileen Cannon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida said in a 15-page decision that she was granting requests from Trump and his co-defendants to keep part two of the report from former special counsel Jack Smith shielded from the public.
