Jack Smith is out at the DOJ after wrapping up his investigation into Trump’s Greatest Hits—you know, allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election and hoarding classified documents like souvenirs. He handed in a massive two-volume report to Garland, who’s now stuck in a legal tennis match with Trump’s camp over whether to release it. Garland’s thinking, “Yeah, we should make this public... eventually,” but Trump’s people are like, “Absolutely not,” because reasons.
Meanwhile, Judge Cannon (who's been Team Trump before) threw a temporary hold on the report, but that hold’s about to expire unless someone extends it. Oh, and Trump’s already planning to put some of his defense lawyers in top DOJ jobs once he’s back in office—because why not? Bottom line: DOJ might drop part of this report soon, but the whole thing is wrapped in legal drama, and nobody’s walking away clean from this circus.
