Special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his election subversion and January 6, 2021, investigation of Donald Trump can be made public, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday, while leaving in place a lower judge’s three-day hold that could give Trump time to ask the Supreme Court to intervene.

The ruling means Trump can ask the Supreme Court to block the release of the report written by special counsel Jack Smith. A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether the president-elect would appeal to the high court.

The ruling can be appealed. President-elect Donald Trump says releasing the special counsel report would interfere with his White House transition.
