  • Attorney General Merrick Garland in a court filing on Wednesday said the Justice Department plans to release publicly special counsel Jack Smith's findings on Donald Trump's alleged efforts to subvert 2020 election results.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has announced plans to release Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on the January 6 Capitol riot, despite objections from former President Donald Trump. The report, which has been completed, focuses on Trump's actions and potential criminal conduct related to the 2020 election and the subsequent Capitol attack. Trump's legal team has argued against its release, citing concerns over due process and the potential for prejudicing public opinion. However, Garland emphasized the Department of Justice's commitment to transparency and accountability, stating that the public has a right to know the findings of such significant investigations. The release of the report is expected to provide detailed insights into the events leading up to and during the Capitol riot, potentially influencing public and legal perceptions of Trump's involvement.
