Special counsel report into Trump effort to overturn 2020 election to be released

The judge who handled Trump's classified documents case allows the first part of Jack Smith's report to be public

Jack Smith's report into Donald Trump's prosecution on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 election could become public as soon as Tuesday after a federal judge denied a last-ditch attempt by the president-elect to stop it from being released.

The second volume of the report into Trump's mishandling of classified documents will remain confidential unless the US district judge, Aileen Cannon, who oversaw that case in Florida, also allows that part to be released.
