AG Merrick Garland intends to release Special Counsel Jack Smith report on Trump election case
Attorney General Merrick Garland is set to release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on the 2020 election interference case involving President-elect Trump, as confirmed by a recent court filing. The Department of Justice informed the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Wednesday that Garland plans to make Volume One of Smith’s report available to Congress. This initial volume delves into the allegations that Trump sought to unlawfully overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
A notable aspect of this announcement is that Garland has opted not to release Volume Two of the report at this time. Volume Two specifically addresses the case involving classified documents and Trump, with two individuals still undergoing criminal proceedings related to this matter.
The decision to release Volume One while withholding Volume Two reflects the ongoing legal complexities surrounding the investigation into the 2020 election interference case. By providing Congress with access to the first volume, Garland aims to ensure transparency and accountability in addressing the serious allegations leveled against Trump.
