Judge Aileen Cannon's unexpected ruling has temporarily halted the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report on investigations and indictments against President-elect Donald Trump.
The ruling stems from Judge Cannon's unusual decisions that appear to favor Donald Trump, particularly in regards to the special prosecutor's legitimacy in the investigations.
The Justice Department believes a federal rule may prevent the public release of the classified documents segment of the report, raising questions about jurisdiction.
If the report's release delays past the upcoming inauguration, incoming Justice Department officials might seek to suppress its content further.
