Summary

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s criminal cases.

The injunction will last until three days after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on a related case involving Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.

Nauta and De Oliveira argue that releasing the report could jeopardize their right to a fair trial.

Cannon, who previously ruled Smith’s appointment unconstitutional, issued the order to “preserve the status quo” pending appellate decisions.

    Nobody needs to pardon anyone. Biden should just release it himself because he has full immunity.

      No way!

      The democrats will be taking 98 year old Donald Trump out on the campaign trail in 20 years, so they don’t want to burn any bridges.

      Biden is senile, he is just another puppet owned by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers that support trump. The dnc and rnc are funded and beholden to the same financial interests. America hasnt been a true democracy probably since FDR died. If not then it was soon after that point.
