House Republicans are decrying Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision to publish special counsel Jack Smith’s report on President-elect Donald Trump, calling it a “cheap political stunt” after the Biden administration official refused to release materials related to the current president.
The Justice Department revealed on Wednesday that Garland plans to publish Smith’s final report on Trump investigating his involvement in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election while he was still in office. However, Garland has decided not to release a second volume of the report investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents that were found at his Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving office in 2021.
