A federal judge has issued a temporary injunction preventing the release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on the investigation into former President Donald Trump. The injunction is in place until the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on a separate request to block the report's release related to Trump's co-defendants.
A federal judge temporarily blocked the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into former President Donald Trump. The injunction lasts until three days after the 11th Circuit rules on a pending request to block the report over a separate matter involving Trump's co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos DeOliveira. An attorney for Nauta and DeOliveira asked U.S.
District Judge Aileen Cannon to block the report, citing the judge’s previous ruling that Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional. The order states that Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice, Special Counsel Smith, and all of their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in active concert or participation with such individuals, are TEMPORARILY ENJOINED from releasing, sharing, or transmitting the Final Report or any drafts of such Report outside the Department of Justice, or otherwise releasing, distributing, conveying, or sharing with anyone outside the Department of Justice any information or conclusions in the Final Report or in drafts thereof. The judge said the order will remain in effect for three days after the appeals court resolves the issue unless the Eleventh Circuit orders otherwise
