Appeals Court Forces Release of Trump Election Subversion Report
Judge Aileen Cannon will allow the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, but temporarily blocked disclosure of the classified documents section pending a hearing. This decision follows Trump’s legal challenges delaying the report’s publication, despite the Justice Department’s historical practice of releasing such reports. While the election interference volume may be released soon, the classified documents portion remains under court-ordered restriction, potentially jeopardizing congressional and public access to these investigations. Trump and his team have yet to indicate whether they will appeal the ruling.
