Trump attempts to prevent release of special counsel report following shelved investigations

Credited from: BBC

  • Lawyers for **Donald Trump** have requested the **Department of Justice** to halt the publication of a special counsel’s report by Jack Smith.
  • The report concerns **two investigations** into Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and potential mishandling of classified materials.
  • Trump's legal team claims that Smith lacked the **legal authority** to produce the report, alleging unconstitutionality and political bias in his appointment.
  • Both investigations resulted in criminal indictments against Trump, but these were dismissed due to guidelines preventing prosecution of a sitting president.
  • Despite recent legal setbacks, Trump faces **sentencing** in a separate case related to falsifying business records in New York.
