Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday extended the hold she has placed blocking the Justice Department from sharing special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into President Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents with members of Congress.

Cannon told the Justice Department to keep the report under wraps, raising the likelihood it will never be seen by the public.

"Release of Volume II to Congress under the proposed conditions … presents a substantial and unacceptable risk of prejudice to [the remaining co-defendants]," U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon wrote in her order blocking the release of former Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report explaining the now-abandoned classified records retention case against President Donald Trump.
