Summary

A U.S. appeals court ruled that the Justice Department can release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

While a Judge Aileen Cannon’s temporary block remains in effect for three more days, the decision paves the way for the report’s release as early as next week.

The report will focus on the 2020 election probe, as the classified documents portion remains restricted to Congress due to ongoing legal cases.

Trump denies wrongdoing, calling the investigations politically motivated.

    lol, even if the investigation is politically motivated, the findings might - and probably will - be quite objectively illegal, traitorous, immoral, etc

      I just wonder if there will be anything that we didn’t already know. I feel like we are so desensitized to Trump’s bullshit that nothing will make a difference.

    Now our corrupt Supreme Court can block it for Daddy Trump.

    NewsFlash: We live in an oligarchy and pretty soon we won’t be any better than Russia.

    Someone tell me if I have it wrong buti think normally they wouldn’t get involved in this kind of thing, but since it’s Daddy Trump they might.
