Appeals Court May Unlock New Details in Trump Case

The dispute over a hidden special counsel report on Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents has moved to the appeals court. A free-speech group is demanding the unsealing of materials still kept from public view due to a federal judge’s ruling. The outcome could shape ongoing investigations into Trump’s actions after leaving office.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, blocked the report’s release, citing risks to co-defendants’ fair-trial rights. However, advocates argue the document is crucial for transparency, as it contains key details on Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Meanwhile, more than 200 pages of new court filings have already been made public, shedding light on behind-the-scenes battles over attorney-client privilege. These records reveal how investigators probed Trump’s controversial legal strategies and defense maneuvers.
