Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to release his final report on the federal investigations into former President Donald Trump before January 20, according to a CNN report citing a source close to the matter.
The report is expected to detail Smith's findings on key cases involving Trump, including allegations of election subversion and mishandling of classified documents. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to publicly release the special counsel report.
On Monday, Smith filed to drop all four felony charges related to Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He also moved to dismiss the case regarding Trump's handling of classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after he left office in January 2021.
Smith's comprehensive final report is anticipated to serve as both a conclusive document of the investigations and a reference for possible future actions. However, it remains uncertain how much new information will be included, particularly in the election subversion case.
This is a developing news story and will be updated with more information.
