As reported by legal analyst Adam Klasfeld on BlueSky, Cannon denied an emergency motion filed by attorneys representing Trump codefendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who were both implicated in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
Cannon also set a date of Friday, January 17th for a hearing on whether to authorize the release of Smith’s final report on the documents case, which she dismissed last year after finding that Smith was not properly appointed as special counsel.
Unless further legal challenges arise, the United States Department of Justice can release the first volume of Smith’s final report as soon as Tuesday, January 14th.
This article made no sense to me until I realized there are two volumes of the report. The motion to suppress the release of Volume 1 was denied, and could be released by the DoJ as early as tomorrow. There will be a hearing Friday whether to authorize the release of Volume 2. Without this context, the timeline and headline made zero sense.
