U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing former special counsel Jack Smith’s final report into the president’s alleged hoarding of sensitive materials.
In a Monday ruling, Cannon granted a request by President Donald Trump and two of his former co-defendants in the case, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, to prevent the full release of Smith’s findings regarding the investigation into Trump’s alleged mishandling of sensitive materials at Mar-a-Lago.
The ruling is the latest in a long line of decisions from Cannon that went in Trump’s favor during the federal investigation. This includes throwing out the entire case where Trump was accused of 40 felony counts after ruling that Smith was unlawfully appointed by then–Attorney General Merrick Garland because his appointment was not first approved by the Senate.
