Trump's Lawyers Threaten Legal Action Over Special Counsel Report

Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith

Lawyers representing Donald Trump have raised concerns over a draft of special counsel Jack Smith's final report on federal investigations into the president-elect. They have threatened legal action if the report is released, as per a letter included in court filings from Trump's former co-defendants.

In the filings, the co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, have requested Judge Aileen Cannon to block the release of the report. They argue that Smith lacks the authority to release the report due to previous rulings deeming his appointment as special counsel unlawful.
