DOJ to publicly release part of special counsel’s Trump report
The Justice Department plans to release the special counsel’s findings on Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential election interference. In a filing to a federal appeals court, the DOJ said it would make public the findings, but provide the classified documents section of the report only to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. The department said the attorney general has “clear” authority to publicly release the findings. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team abandoned both the interference case and the classified documents investigation in November after Donald Trump’s presidential victory.
