Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump are attempting to block special counsel Jack Smith from releasing a report about Smith's investigations into Trump. They filed the motion in a case involving codefendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Olivera.Smith was appointed by the Department of Justice to handle investigations involving Trump. Smith ultimately filed charges in two federal cases against Trump.The attorneys said they have reviewed a draft of the report and said the report contained a "one-sided narrative." On Tuesday, Judge Eileen Cannon issued a temporary order that said the Department of Justice cannot release the report to the public. The matter, she said, will be under further review. "These Defendants will irreparably suffer harm as civilian casualties of the Government's impermissible and contumacious utilization of political lawfare to include release of the unauthorized Report. The Final Report relies on materials to which Smith, as disqualified special counsel, is no longer entitled access making his attempt to share such materials with the public highly improper," the attorneys claim.In response, Smith said his office is working to finalize a two-volume confidential report that will be given to Attorney General Merrick Garland. The filing says one of the volumes pertains to the case involving Nauta and De Olivera, and Garland has not determined whether to release this volume.RELATED STORY | Special counsel Jack Smith reportedly will resign prior to Trump taking officeSmith had said that the volume would not be released to the public before Friday at 10 a.m., if at all.The case involves allegations that Trump, Nauta and De Olivera mishandled classified documents at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort home in Florida.
