Federal Judge Aileen Cannon cleared the way for the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump.

She blocked a request from Mr. Trump’s co-defendants to stop the report’s release.

“The Court sees an insufficient basis to grant emergency injunctive relief as to Volume I,” Judge Cannon wrote in a court filing Monday.

She set a hearing for Friday to determine whether to release the report’s other volume, which details the case against Mr. Trump for keeping classified government documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office.
