Trump Asks Federal Judge to Block DOJ from Releasing Fmr. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Report

HeadlineJan 21, 2026

President Trump is asking a federal judge to block the Justice Department from releasing a second volume of a report prepared by former special counsel Jack Smith. Smith is set to testify Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee about his investigations into President Trump and his attempts to overthrow the 2020 election. Speaking to reporters Tuesday, President Trump taunted special counsel Jack Smith.

President Donald Trump: “And removed his handpicked radical-left Marxist prosecutors from the Department of Justice, like deranged Jack 'Sick' Smith. He’s a sick son of a bitch.”
