Mon Jan 13 18:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Judge Allows Partial Release of Special Counsel’s Trump Report
**Fort Pierce, FL** – A Florida federal judge has partially approved the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigations into President-elect Donald Trump. Judge Aileen M. Cannon ruled Monday that the Justice Department can release the portion detailing the charges related to Mr. Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. This section of the report will be available as early as Tuesday morning.
However, Judge Cannon delayed the release of the section concerning the classified documents case, which she previously oversaw. A hearing is scheduled for Friday to determine whether Congress can access this part of the report. While the Justice Department can release the election-related portion, Mr. Trump’s legal team retains the option to appeal this decision to higher courts.
The two-volume report represents Special Counsel Smith’s conclusions on the two concluded cases against Mr. Trump: one concerning the mishandling of classified documents and the other involving alleged attempts to interfere with the 2020 election results. The judge’s decision represents the latest development in a week-long legal battle surrounding the report’s release.
