U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Donald Trump appointee who shut down a case into his retainment of classified documents, is giving up on blocking former special counsel Jack Smith’s report into Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election on Jan. 6.
In a Monday ruling, Cannon rejected a bid from Trump employees and former codefendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira to block the Jan. 6 report, effectively echoing a higher court ruling on Friday allowing its release once an injunction expires on Tuesday.
