Judge Allows Release of Jack Smith's Report

A federal judge has allowed the release of Volume One of special counsel Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump's alleged election interference, despite Trump's legal team's last-minute attempts to block it. The report, released by the Justice Department, outlines Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and states that he would have faced conviction if not for his 2024 election victory. Smith emphasized that the Constitution prohibits the indictment of a sitting president, arguing that Trump's actions aimed to retain power illegally. Trump's attorneys have claimed his 'complete exoneration' and accused Smith of bias in favor of the Biden administration. However, the judge dismissed Trump's requests to delay the report's release, which includes details of Trump's coordination with allies to challenge the election. The classified documents volume of Smith's report remains under consideration for future release pending ongoing legal matters.
