A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected an attempt to block special counsel Jack Smith from releasing his final report into the two federal criminal cases he brought against Donald Trump but, crucially, left in place a temporary injunction that prevents it from becoming public.
The order from the US court of appeals for the 11th circuit means the injunction imposed by the US district judge Aileen Cannon who handled the Trump’s prosecution on charges of mishandling classified documents will remain in place for at least three more days.
