Summary

Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to release the first part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, while withholding the second part on classified documents.

The report will also be shared with congressional judiciary leaders under confidentiality agreements.

A court injunction temporarily blocks the report’s release, and Trump’s legal team is expected to challenge it further.

Trump’s lawyers argue Smith’s appointment was improper and claim the report prejudices co-defendants in the documents case, which is under appeal.
