Judge temporarily blocks release of Jack Smith's final report

Fox News' David Spunt reports the latest. Fox News legal editor Kerri Kupec Urbahn also joined 'Outnumbered' to discuss her take on Judge Cannon's decision to temporarily block the release of Jack Smith's final report.

Attorney General Merrick Garland will release Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump, according to a court filing.

The Department of Justice told the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Wednesday that Garland intends to release Volume One of Smith's report to Congress, which covers the allegations that Trump attempted to illegally undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.

However, Garland will not release Volume Two, which covers the classified documents case against Trump, as two defendants in that case still face criminal proceedings.
