Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, known for her high-profile cases, just approved something important: she won’t block the public release of a report on former president Donald Trump’s role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. But! She’s putting a pause on one part of the report that involves some secret documents found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago place.

Why the delay? Her court is asked if the US Attorney General, Merrick Garland, can share this sensitive part with a few key congresspeople. Cannon wants all sides to have their say before deciding. Her quick reasoning? She’s not taking a “gamble” just because of all that interest from lawmakers. She needs more info first.

Garland’s plan? Let the top Republicans and Democrats on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees take a peek at the report, but only if they keep quiet about it. But the whole report is set to be released to the public just before Trump starts his next term, come next Monday. The Justice Department is keeping mum on this for now.

This report dives in real deep on Trump and some folks (not charged yet) trying to mess with the peaceful transition of power during the 2020 election. It all led to that disturbing day when Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol in January 2021. It’s like a puzzle that got stuck due to a Supreme Court call last summer and then dropped after Election Day.

Stay tuned, because there’ll be more updates coming soon.
