A federal judge has blocked the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation report on Donald Trump's handling of classified documents, according to Swedish media reports. The report concerns the former president's handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving the White House following his first term. The investigation reportedly led to charges but was dropped in 2024 before trial by Judge Aileen Cannon, the same judge who is now blocking the report from being released.
Judge Cannon was appointed in 2020 after being nominated by Trump. The decision to block the report's release was reported by multiple Swedish news outlets on February 23, 2026.
