The injunction lasts until three days after the 11th Circuit rules on a pending request to block the release of the report over a separate matter involving Trump's co-defendants.

Summary

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s criminal cases.

The injunction will last until three days after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on a related case involving Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.

Nauta and De Oliveira argue that releasing the report could jeopardize their right to a fair trial.

Cannon, who previously ruled Smith’s appointment unconstitutional, issued the order to “preserve the status quo” pending appellate decisions.

    I hear you, and I understand where you’re coming from. But there literally isn’t a legal argument for any of it. The SCOTUS has been corrupted and has invalidated their own credibility, and corrupt judges and politicians have been handing down legally indefensible rulings for years. Their justification is “fuck you. What are you gonna do about it?”

    Legal systems must be consistent to be valid. Selective application of legal reasoning has exposed our courts to malfeasance. It is rotten at the core, and any justice handed down is unintended coincidence.
