Cannon extends temporary block on Jack Smith classified documents report

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon extended a temporary injunction blocking public release of special counsel Jack Smith's Volume II report on Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, preventing disclosure ahead of an upcoming deadline. The Trump administration and the newly confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi both supported keeping the report sealed, with Bondi reversing the prior Justice Department position. The temporary block set the stage for Cannon's permanent sealing order two days later on February 23.
