"Release of Volume II to Congress under the proposed conditions … presents a substantial and unacceptable risk of prejudice to [the remaining co-defendants]," U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon wrote in her order blocking the release of former Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report explaining the now-abandoned classified records retention case against President Donald Trump.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday cleared the way for the release of former special counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump's alleged election interference. The post ‘Confined to this proceeding’: Judge Cannon admits she has no authority to stop release of Jack Smith’s final report on Trump’s alleged election interference first appeared on Law & Crime.

Cannon’s ruling stated that Garland, the Department of Justice, Smith, and “all of their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in active concert or participation with such individuals” could not publish any part of the report until three days after the Eleventh Circuit ruled on the case.
