Summary
Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on two prosecutions, claiming it could harm the presidential transition and be seen as a political act.
The report is expected to include damaging details about Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and hide classified documents.
Trump’s legal team has requested that Attorney General Merrick Garland fire Smith and defer handling the report to Trump’s incoming attorney general.
Smith plans to resign before Trump’s inauguration, but the report’s release remains “imminent.”
TBH, I pulled 2 foreign papers straight out of my butt. My point still stands: if a foreign paper, preferably in a country with strong press protections, publishes it there’s not much Trump can do beyond search for the original leaker (which would happen anyway).
Yes, it does, and I agree with it. I should have stated as much in my comment. I didn’t because I generally prefer upvotes to “well argued” or “I agree”.
