In a surprising move, Judge Aileen Cannon has decided to keep blocking the Justice Department from sharing a key report about former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents with Congress. The report, prepared by special counsel Jack Smith, has been at the center of a heated legal battle. Cannon’s latest order, issued Tuesday, criticized federal prosecutors, accusing them of misleading her during a recent court hearing. She also questioned their commitment to fairness in the justice system. The judge’s decision comes after Trump’s former co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, argued that even a limited release of the report could harm their chances in a potential trial. Both men face obstruction-related charges tied to the case. Earlier, former Attorney General Merrick Garland had pushed to share the report privately with a small group of lawmakers, provided they kept the details under wraps. But Cannon dismissed this idea, calling it an overreach. She emphasized that the constitutional rights of the defendants and the integrity of the legal process must come first. “The desire of one Attorney General to follow a so-called ‘historical practice’ doesn’t outweigh the need to protect the fairness of this case,” Cannon wrote in her order. This isn’t the first time Cannon has made waves in this case. Last summer, she dismissed the charges against Trump, arguing that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional. That decision is currently under appeal, leaving the door open for the charges to be reinstated. As the legal drama continues, all eyes are on how this case will unfold.
