Summary

Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to release the first part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, while withholding the second part on classified documents.

The report will also be shared with congressional judiciary leaders under confidentiality agreements.

A court injunction temporarily blocks the report's release, and Trump’s legal team is expected to challenge it further.

Trump’s lawyers argue Smith’s appointment was improper and claim the report prejudices co-defendants in the documents case, which is under appeal.

Yeh, as if republicans haven't been planning for all of these eventualities.
Project 2025 details their long term plans.
There is no way a presidential campaign hasn't planned exactly how to handle every single fallout from every single hidden skeleton in the candidates closet.
Never mind the ongoing fucking public legal cases! "Yeh, we will just plead presidential immunity" and no further plans? Doubt.

America is going to get railroaded through unbelievable feats of legal gymnastics, and going to be left holding their constitution as if it isn't the gymnastics' emergency crash pad.
