Fox News: House Dems push Garland to drop charges, release second part of Jack Smith report
House Judiciary Democrats have urged outgoing Attorney General Merrick Garland to drop charges against Donald Trump's former aides, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, in the classified documents case. They argue that doing so would allow the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's second report, which is currently withheld due to ongoing prosecutions.
The letter emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability, asserting that Trump's position as president-elect should not shield him from scrutiny. The Democrats contend that the charges against Nauta and De Oliveira are lesser offenses compared to Trump's alleged wrongdoing. Judge Aileen Cannon will hear arguments regarding the report's release.

The report also highlighted similar lapses in June 2024 when Austin transferred duties to Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks without proper notification. This has raised concerns about accountability and the potential risks to national security.
