Lawyers for Donald Trump and his onetime codefendants in the Mar-a-Lago confidential documents case have asked the federal judge in Florida appointed by the former and future president to block the Justice Department from releasing an upcoming report from special counsel Jack Smith.

The ask of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon — who dismissed the case against Trump in July after finding that Attorney General Merrick Garland unlawfully appointed Smith as special counsel — arrived in the form of a letter from Trump’s lawyers included in a strongly-worded emergency motion filed Monday by attorneys for Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, the two remaining defendants in the Mar-a-Lago matter.
