  • The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has denied an effort to block the release of special counsel Jack Smith's final report on his two investigations into Donald Trump.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has informed Congress that Special Counsel Jack Smith is actively investigating former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents and his potential involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot. Garland's letter to Congress highlights that the investigation is ongoing and emphasizes the need for cooperation from all parties involved.

The letter also underscores the Justice Department's commitment to following the facts and the law wherever they may lead.
