A federal judge has ruled that the DOJ can release Volume One of special counsel report Jack Smith's report covering his election interference case against Donald Trump.

Summary

Judge Aileen Cannon has allowed the DOJ to release Volume One of Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s alleged election interference but delayed a decision on releasing Volume Two, related to classified documents, to Congress.

The DOJ had faced opposition from Trump’s former co-defendants, Nauta and De Oliveira, who argued it could harm ongoing cases.

Cannon, who previously dismissed Trump’s classified documents case, noted that releasing Volume One does not impact the defendants’ legal rights.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes requested Smith’s case file to support related prosecutions.
