On Thursday, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted President-elect Donald Trump’s request to file an amicus brief in the case of his two former co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, and whether special counsel Jack Smith should be allowed to release his report on the investigations into Trump.
The brief stated that like co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, "President Trump is a subject of the Final Report. Indeed, he has been the target of Smith, who brought two prosecutions against him (the 'Election Case' and this one), both of which were constitutionally suspect from the start."
"The report is nothing less than another attempted political hit job which sole purpose is to disrupt the Presidential transition and undermine President Trump’s exercise of executive power," the filing stated. Attempting to publish the Final Report evidences complete disregard for the district court, which found that Smith is unconstitutionally appointed and funded."
