Judge Cannon Makes SHOCK RULING on Trump REPORT - Legal AF



The long suppressed second volume of Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump's Espionage Act prosecution won't be released until late February — and perhaps longer. Judge Aileen Cannon rejected a request by the Columbia University-based Knight First Amendment Institute to intervene in the case in order to unearth the report.

Cannon said that her earlier order blocking its release would expire on Feb. 24, 2026, but she gave the Trump administration another opportunity to try to keep it under wraps. Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News explains the state of play. - 12/26/2025.

petitioners should ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to stay her ruling and take jurisdiction since there is no justifiable basis to give never ending chances to a party to continue to hold secret this report into infinity. I believe they could remove the case from her and assign it to another judge at the very least and I think they could also possibly order release of the report. Either way they should step in because this is now way anybody being able to say she isn't horribly compromised and biased. There simply is no legals basis for entertaining another long drawn out "decision" from "I Lean" Cannon.
