Donald Trump’s legal representatives are requesting US Attorney General Merrick Garland to prevent the publication of special counsel Jack Smith’s “Final Report,” stating that it includes allegations about the president-elect that are untrue and discredited.

Trump’s lawyers sent a letter to Garland on Monday, asking him to halt any actions related to drafting and publishing this report, as indicated in legal documents.

Attorneys Todd Blanche and John Lauro expressed in their correspondence, “It should be noted that the courts in Florida and the District of Columbia have already thrown out both of Jack Smith’s unsuccessful lawsuits against President Trump.”

“Rather than acknowledging, as he must, President Trump’s complete exoneration, Smith now seeks to disseminate an extrajudicial ‘Final Report’ to perpetuate his false and discredited accusations.”

The attorneys also blasted the report as a “lawless political stunt,” citing US District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s previous decision to dismiss Trump’s confidential documents case after she ruled Smith was unlawfully appointed.

“The release of any confidential report prepared by this out-of-control private citizen unconstitutionally posing as a prosecutor would be nothing more than a lawless political stunt, designed to politically harm President Trump and justify the huge sums of taxpayer money Smith unconstitutionally spent on his failed and dismissed cases,” the letter reads, according to the Washington Post.
