Special counsel Jack Smith announced on Tuesday that his team is finalizing a two-volume report on its investigations into President-elect Donald Trump. The report is anticipated to shed light on charging decisions made in separate investigations, including Trump's hoarding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results leading up to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
In the classified documents case, Trump was charged alongside two codefendants, but the case was dismissed in July by a judge appointed by Trump. Another case involving election interference was narrowed by a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Both cases were abandoned in November following Trump's presidential victory due to Justice Department policy prohibiting the federal prosecution of sitting presidents.
