Jack Smith report release hangs in balance as special counsel exits DOJ

Published



Special counsel Jack Smith turned in his final report to Attorney General Merrick Garland and departed the Department of Justice on Saturday, but whether the public will be able to access the report remains uncertain.

Prosecutors are at the mercy of Judge Aileen Cannon or 11th Circuit Court judges, both of whom have been entertaining arguments over the past week from President-elect Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Florida that the report should stay under wraps.
