Attorney General\u00a0Merrick Garland\u00a0will release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Attorney General determined that he will not make a public release of Volume Two while defendants\u2019 cases remain pending. That should be the end of the matter,\u201d prosecutors wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Department of Justice told the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Wednesday that Garland intends to release Volume One of Smith’s report to Congress, which covers the allegations that Trump attempted to illegally undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, Garland will not release Volume Two, which covers the classified documents case against Trump, as two defendants in that case still face criminal proceedings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federal prosecutors made Garland\u2019s plans clear in a Wednesday morning filing urging an appeals court to reject a bid from Trump valet Walt Nauta and property manager Carlos de Oliveira to bar the attorney general from releasing the report in its entirety, per reports from The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filing says the top members of the House and Senate Judiciary committees will be able to review the Mar-a-Lago report at the DOJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garland\u2019s decision essentially assures the public will never see Smith\u2019s report reviewing Trump\u2019s mishandling of classified records at his Palm Beach home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
