The appeals court will not prevent the release of a portion of special counsel Jack Smith's Trump report.
A federal appeals court upheld the release of a portion of special counsel Jack Smith's final report.
A federal appeals court denied a request to prevent the publication of a portion of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation and prosecution report on President-elect Trump's alleged 2020 election interference and improper retention of classified records.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the appeal of Walt Nauta, a Trump aide, and Carlos de Oliveira, a former Mar-a-Lago property manager, who were charged with obstructing a separate investigation into Trump's handling of sensitive government records.
The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals put a temporary hold on the DOJ's release of the report for three days.
In 2022, Garland appointed Smith to investigate allegations that Trump and his allies attempted to overturn the 2020 election results and that Trump kept allegedly classified documents at his Florida residence.
Trump, Nauta, and de Oliveira all entered not guilty pleas to federal charges accusing them of conspiring to impede the FBI's investigation into classified documents discovered at Mar-a-Lago.
