US EditionJudge permanently blocks release of Jack Smith's report on Trump classified documents case
Judge Aileen Cannon cited unlawful appointment and presumption of innocence to block release of special counsel's report on Trump documents case.
- A federal judge has permanently blocked the public release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents.
- U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, approved the president’s request to keep the report confidential. The investigation had led to criminal charges in 2023, but Cannon dismissed the case in 2024, ruling that Smith’s appointment was unlawful.
- In her decision, Cannon said making the report public would cause a “manifest injustice,” arguing that Smith lacked proper legal authority when he secured the indictment and initiated the now-dismissed case.
