The 11th Circuit Court rejected efforts to block Jack Smith’s report on President Donald Trump.
Funny that they think this report is going to do any damage.
President Trump’s aide Walt Nauta and ex-Mar-a-Lago manager Carlos de Oliveira tried to halt its release.
But despite their efforts, the DOJ will soon publish the election case report.
Will this be a big nothingburger?
I think we know the answer to that one.

Fox News reports:
A federal appeals court rejected a bid to block the release of a portion of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report detailing his investigation and prosecution of President-elect Trump’s alleged 2020 election interference and alleged improper retention of classified records.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit denied a request from Walt Nauta, an aide to Trump, and Carlos de Oliveira, the former property manager at Mar-a-Lago, who were charged with obstructing a separate federal investigation into Trump’s handling of sensitive government records.
The court left a three-day hold on DOJ’s release of the report.
The Justice Department said it would proceed with plans to release the first of two volumes centered on the election interference case but would make the classified documents section of the report available only to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees for their private review as long as the case against Trump’s co-defendants is ongoing.
It was not immediately clear when the election interference report might be released.
After midnight, Jack Smith filed his appeal of Judge Cannon's order blocking the release of his "report."
