But prosecutors say an expected two-volume report detailing charging decisions for Donald Trump should be partially held back.
Brandi Buchman at HuffPost:
Special counsel Jack Smith’s highly anticipated report on his charging decisions in Trump’s Jan. 6 election subversion case will be made public, federal prosecutors said Wednesday, but the same cannot be said of information underpinning Trump’s classified documents case.
Details from that now-dismissed classified documents case should be held back from public view, federal prosecutors said Wednesday, because litigation is still underway in Florida against Trump’s valet and his Mar-a-Lago estate property manager. The disclosure was made in federal appellate court by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian Boynton in response to a recent request from Waltine Nauta, Trump’s valet, and Carlos De Oliveira, his property manager, to stop the publication entirely. Boynton said this was unnecessary. Smith, he wrote, already recommended to Attorney General Merrick Garland that to “avoid any risk of prejudice” to Nauta and De Oliveira, it would be best to release only information about the Jan. 6 charging decisions so long as criminal proceedings are pending against Nauta and De Oliveria. The report will, however, be available for private review by members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings in the Capitol Insurrection probe will be released by the DOJ. The findings in the classified document theft case, however, won’t be made public at this time due to litigation still ongoing.
