A U.S. federal judge has blocked the release of a report by former Special Counsel Jack Smith concerning President Donald Trump's classified documents case, citing potential "manifest injustice."

• The report details allegations of criminal wrongdoing in a case that has not yet reached a jury.
• U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that releasing the report would contravene fairness and justice.
• Judge Cannon, appointed by Trump in 2020, had previously dismissed all charges in 2024.
