WASHINGTON: A federal judge has temporarily blocked the public release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on investigations into President-elect Donald Trump as an appeals court weighs a challenge.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon made the ruling Tuesday, the morning after an emergency request by defense lawyers to stop the Justice Department from making the report public — a step that Smith had said could come as early as Friday.
The matter is being considered by the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
