WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland does not plan to publicly release a portion of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigative report related to President-elect Donald Trump’s retention of classified records, the Justice Department revealed in a court filing on Wednesday.
In the filing made in an Atlanta-based federal appeals court, the department said Smith has completed his two-volume report on Trump, and that Garland intends for now to publicly release only the section related to Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election.
