Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday extended the hold she has placed blocking the Justice Department from sharing special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into President Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents with members of Congress.

The Florida-based judge did not immediately rule on whether the Justice Department can move forward with its plan to show the report to a handful of lawmakers.

The Florida jurist finds ‘no historical precedent’ for plan to release a special counsel’s dossier while a case is ongoing.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday blocked the release of former special counsel Jack Smith’s report into President Donald Trump’s now-defunct classified documents case, raising the odds it will ever see the light of day.

A judge is hearing arguments Friday on whether members of Congress will be permitted to view Jack Smith's final report on Donald Trump's classified documents case.

Six months after she dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon can now decide whether to squash the release of Jack Smith's report, too.

U.S. District judge Aileen Cannon has denied a request by the Department of Justice to share former special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents report with Congress. The DOJ under outgoing president Joe Biden had requested that the second volume of Smith's report be shared with lawmakers,

The decision by Judge Aileen M. Cannon not to issue an immediate ruling raised the possibility that President-elect Donald J. Trump would take office in the meantime and have power over the report’s release.

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon ordered a Friday hearing to discuss releasing a DOJ report in the dismissed classified document case against Donald Trump.

House Democrats are urging Merrick Garland to take all necessary steps to release special counsel Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump's handling of classified documents.

Cannon’s ruling stated that Garland, the Department of Justice, Smith, and “all of their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in active concert or participation with such individuals” could not publish any part of the report until three days after the Eleventh Circuit ruled on the case.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon barred the Justice Department from sending the report to the heads of the House and Senate Judiciary committees.
