Lawyers for Donald Trump have asked the Department of Justice (DoJ) to not release a special counsel’s report setting out its investigations into the US president-elect.
Jack Smith led two probes into Trump, one on alleged attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat and another on his apparent mishandling of classified documents.
Both cases have been shelved, but Mr Smith’s detailed report was due to be released in the coming days.
But in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Trump’s lawyers have urged him to end the “weaponisation of the justice system” and hand the report to them.
