The Justice Department has informed a federal appeals court of its intention to release the January 6-related volume of the final report by special counsel Jack Smith just days before Donald Trump's inauguration. However, the department has stated that it will not make public the section of the report concerning Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Following a request from Trump and his former co-defendants in the classified documents case, District Judge Aileen Cannon issued a block on the release of both volumes. The co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who have pleaded not guilty, were the subjects of the blocked section.
