A judge has temporarily prevented Special Counsel Jack Smith from releasing his report on President-elect Trump’s alleged election interference and handling of classified documents.
Trump’s associates filed an emergency request to block the report’s release, arguing it would cause “irreparable harm.”
Judge Aileen Cannon ruled in favor of the associates, barring Smith from sharing the report outside the Justice Department until three days after a decision from the appeals court.
The order is intended to prevent potential harm to the Trump associates involved in the case.
The situation remains fluid, and updates will be provided as they become available.
