In a new ruling released Tuesday, Cannon granted a request from Trump's co-defendants, his aides Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, to deny the Department of Justice 's request to release the report. The move blocks the report from being shared with the heads of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday extended the hold she has placed blocking the Justice Department from sharing special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into President Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents with members of Congress.

Cannon told the Justice Department to keep the report under wraps, raising the likelihood it will never be seen by the public.

The judge denied a request to block the release of Smith's report on Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Cannon’s ruling stated that Garland, the Department of Justice, Smith, and “all of their officers, agents, and employees, and all persons acting in active concert or participation with such individuals” could not publish any part of the report until three days after the Eleventh Circuit ruled on the case.

Six months after she dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon can now decide whether to squash the release of Jack Smith's report, too.
