Appeals Court Rejects Bid to Block Trump Jan 6 Report Release
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals denied an emergency request to prevent the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on President-elect Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. However, a temporary injunction remains in place for three days, and further legal challenges are anticipated. While the election interference portion of the report is targeted for release, the section concerning classified documents at Mar-a-Lago will remain sealed due to ongoing prosecutions of co-defendants. Trump’s spokesperson condemned the report as politically motivated, while the Justice Department has followed precedent by making such reports public in the past.
