District Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday blocked the public release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on his investigations into President-elect Donald Trump.

AG Merrick Garland intends to release the portion of the special counsel's report related to his election interference case against Donald Trump, according to a filing.

A federal appeals court has blocked a move by Donald Trump's lawyers to stop the Justice Department from releasing Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report on two criminal cases against the former and future president.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, had temporarily blocked the public release of the special counsel's report.

The DOJ immediately launched legal action after winning an appeal on a point of law as it seeks to make the report public before Trump takes office.

Trump's attorneys asked Garland to withhold special counsel Jack Smith's final report from the public, arguing its release would be "imprudent and unlawful."

The Justice Department said Garland plans to release Jack Smith's report on Trump's 2020 election interference efforts.

President-elect Donald Trump is trying to keep Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report summarizing his lengthy investigations into Trump and his allies hidden from public view, as the report could be released as soon as this week if courts and Attorney General Merrick Garland refuse Trump’s requests to keep it private.

The ruling can be appealed. President-elect Donald Trump says releasing the special counsel report would interfere with his White House transition.

The ruling doesn't end Judge Aileen Cannon's three-day injunction but does deny a request to block Smith's report

The volume of Smith’s report covering the investigation into whether Trump withheld White House documents won’t be released.
