US EditionJudge Cannon directed to proceed with special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump
The appeals court cited undue delay after Judge Cannon postponed ruling on motions to release parts of special counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump’s classified documents case.
- On Monday, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ordered U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to rule within 60 days on motions to release Volume II of Jack Smith's final report, citing undue delay.
- The petitions, fully briefed by July 7 and July 10, 2025, include motions filed by Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and American Oversight on February 14 and February 24, 2025, seeking Volume II of Jack Smith's final report.
- In a brief, unsigned ruling the three-judge panel of the Eleventh Circuit found undue delay in Judge Cannon's handling of motions filed February 14, 2025 and February 24, 2025, warning it would intervene after 60 days.
- The ruling affects public access to material about investigations into President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents, targeting one of the last unresolved elements of special counsel Jack Smith's defunct criminal cases.
- Critics point out that Cannon has been 'slow-walking' the case; Jameel Jaffer insisted, `There is no legitimate reason for the report's continued suppression, and it should be posted on the court's public docket without further delay`, and Chioma Chukwu noted it undermines accountability.
