Democrats Urge Garland to Release Smith’s Report on Trump’s Classified Documents Case

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to release the remaining part of special counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump's handling of classified documents. They argue that transparency is vital for the American people, especially with Trump poised to assume power again. Garland has indicated he may keep the report secret to protect ongoing proceedings against Trump's co-defendants, Nauta and De Oliveira. The call for release includes the possibility of dropping the charges against Trump’s aides to facilitate transparency about alleged misconduct related to classified information.
