That volume pertains to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-asks-supreme-court-to-reject-trump-request-in-fbi-classified-documents-case\/\" title=\"DOJ Asks Supreme Court to Reject Trump Request in FBI Classified Documents Case\">classified documents case<\/a> in Florida, and Cannon scheduled a hearing for Friday to listen to arguments about its release.<\/p>\n<p>Smith terminated the classified documents case against Trump when he won the presidential election but left open the charges against Trump&rsquo;s two co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira. The co-defendants had fought in court to suppress the entirety of Smith&rsquo;s report, arguing it would be prejudicial to their case.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s attorneys filed an amicus brief in support of Nauta and De Oliveira and made a direct demand to Garland last week to withhold Smith&rsquo;s two-volume document, saying they felt it was a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-loses-bid-to-block-garland-from-releasing-special-counsel-report-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trump loses bid to block Garland from releasing special counsel report - Washington Examiner\">partisan weapon&#038;rdquo<\/a>; that would unlawfully interfere with Trump&rsquo;s transition into the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s attorneys, led by his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">deputy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-ag-barr-authorizes-federal-prosecutors-to-pursue-substantial-allegations-of-voting-irregularities-before-2020-election-is-certified\/\" title=\"BREAKING: AG Barr Authorizes Federal Prosecutors to Pursue &quot;Substantial Allegations&quot; of Voting Irregularities Before 2020 Election is Certified\">attorney general<\/a> nominee<\/a>, Todd Blanche, had been able to review a draft of both volumes of the report in Washington a week ago and hinted at some of the contents of the report in their letter to Garland.<\/p>\n<p>They said Smith included &ldquo;pathetically transparent&rdquo; criticisms of X and attacks on Trump&rsquo;s incoming administration officials in the report and that he did not afford Trump a presumption of innocence.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Federal regulation requires special counsels to compile confidential reports explaining their prosecutorial decisions, and attorneys general have discretion over whether to make the reports public.
