The Justice Department says it plans to publicly release special counsel Jack Smith’s findings on Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 presidential election. But it will not release the part of special counsel Smith’s report concerning Trump’s mishandling of classified documents, as legal proceedings continue for two of Trump’s co-conspirators. Those findings will only be released to select lawmakers on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. Both cases against Trump were dropped after Trump won reelection in November. It’s not clear when the partial report might become available, after Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon, who last summer dismissed Trump’s classified documents case, temporarily blocked the release of Smith’s report on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block sentencing, scheduled for Friday, in his New York hush money and 2016 election subversion conviction. ABC News reports Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke to Trump on the phone shortly before Trump’s request. Alito claimed the call was related to a job reference for a former law clerk.
