Summary

Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on two prosecutions, claiming it could harm the presidential transition and be seen as a political act.

The report is expected to include damaging details about Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and hide classified documents.

Trump’s legal team has requested that Attorney General Merrick Garland fire Smith and defer handling the report to Trump’s incoming attorney general.

Smith plans to resign before Trump’s inauguration, but the report’s release remains “imminent.”

    Bullshit, this was just a case of not wanting to convict Trump because it would set a precedent where rich and ex presidents could be held accountable. That’s why everyone dragged their feet.

    Even the Jan 6th foot soldier morons where there was faaar less evidence against them got pounded by the system. Meanwhile the top asshole got to keep golfing.

      The case was moving forward the entire time until Trump stopped it.

      Trump has been open about how he will get revenge against people who he doesn’t like.

      It seems like you’re trying to manufacturer consent for when Trump gets revenge or redirect the blame away from Trump.
