Judge Aileen Cannon ordered the Justice Department on Tuesday to withhold former special counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents report from four members of Congress after prosecutors under former Attorney General Merrick Garland fought to release it to the lawmakers.
Cannon, a Trump appointee, said she saw no legitimate reason to allow anyone in Congress to see the volume of the special counsel report pertaining to Trump’s classified documents case while Trump’s two co-defendants were still facing charges.
