The Justice Department said Garland plans to release Jack Smith's report on Trump's 2020 election interference efforts.

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has denied an effort to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith's final report on his two investigations into Donald Trump.

Special counsel Jack Smith has been working on a final report to be completed before Trump's inauguration, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News.

The Justice Department told a federal appeals court on Wednesday that Attorney General Merrick Garland intends to release the January 6-related volume of its final report of special counsel Jack Smith before Donald Trump takes office.

The volume of Smith’s report covering the investigation into whether Trump withheld White House documents won’t be released.

Justice Department lawyers said the plan is to release a special counsel report about Trump's election interference charges, not classified documents.

AG Merrick Garland intends to release the portion of the special counsel's report related to his election interference case against Donald Trump, according to a filing.

The Justice Department said Wednesday in a court filing Attorney General Merrick Garland will release Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on the alleged Jan. 6 election conspiracy by President-Elect Donald Trump.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his election subversion and January 6, 2021, investigation of Donald Trump can be made public, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday, while leaving in place a lower judge’s three-day hold that could give Trump time to ask the Supreme Court to intervene.

In a filing, Garland outlined his intentions to publicize the final memo on Trump’s 2020 election subversion case, which constitutes “volume one” of Smith’s report, while handing the controversial details of Trump’s classified documents case to the chair and ranking member of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

A federal appeals court has cleared the way for the public release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on the 2020 election interference case against Donald Trump over the objections of the president-elect.
