A federal judge temporarily halted the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on investigations into Donald Trump, pending an appeals court decision. This action, prompted by an emergency request from Trump’s defense team citing potential prejudice, follows a pattern of rulings favorable to Trump by the Trump-appointed judge.
