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.
Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, had temporarily blocked the public release of the special counsel's report.
Special counsel Jack Smith was finalizing his report about Trump's two indictments for release as early as Friday if the judge hadn't blocked it.
Special counsel Jack Smith submitted his final report on his investigations into President-elect Donald Trump to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday.
The Justice Department said Garland plans to release Jack Smith's report on Trump's 2020 election interference efforts.
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."
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.
Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to release Jack Smith's report on Trump's alleged election interference, but the timing remains uncertain.
The ruling doesn't end Judge Aileen Cannon's three-day injunction but does deny a request to block Smith's report
