Trump's attorneys have requested an appeals court to **prevent the publication** of the special counsel's report detailing charges against him.
The report includes **allegations** related to the January 6, 2021 events and the **retention of classified documents**.
This request is part of an **amicus brief** supporting co-defendants in an ongoing classified documents case against Trump.
Trump's lawyers criticized special counsel **Jack Smith** and Attorney General **Merrick Garland**, labeling the report's release a **political hit job**.
They argue that the report contains **sensitive information** not previously disclosed and seeks to disrupt Trump’s transition of power.
