Key Figures

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.

Senator Lindsey Graham temporarily blocked the Senate spending package on January 30, 2026, placing a hold to demand floor votes on two provisions: legislation allowing senators to sue the DOJ if their phone records were obtained during the Jack Smith Arctic Frost investigation, and a bill to criminalize local officials who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Graham ultimately lifted his hold after Senate Majority Leader John Thune committed to scheduling floor votes on both provisions at a later date.

Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued an order blocking the public release of Volume 2 of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. The ruling kept secret the findings of a multi-year investigation into Mar-a-Lago document storage. Smith had completed the report before the case was dismissed following Trump's election victory. Transparency advocates and press freedom groups argued the public had a right to see the full investigative record.

Special counsel Jack Smith moved to dismiss all federal charges against Donald Trump following the Supreme Court's landmark July 2024 ruling granting presidents broad immunity for official acts. The 6-3 decision in Trump v. United States held that presidents cannot be prosecuted for actions taken within their core constitutional authority, effectively ending the federal Jan. 6 and classified documents cases against Trump.

Special counsel Jack Smith filed motions on November 25, 2024, to dismiss all federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump — both the classified documents case and the January 6 election interference case — citing the longstanding Department of Justice policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Smith sought dismissal without prejudice, preserving the theoretical ability to refile charges after Trump leaves office. The classified documents case was dismissed before trial despite 37 counts and extensive evidence; co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira remained subject to prosecution. Smith released a final report on his investigation that Judge Aileen Cannon blocked from public release in the documents case.
