The first part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his now-closed investigations into President-elect Trump was released Tuesday, days before he will be sworn into office.

The special counsel's report concludes the criminal investigation that brought charges against a former president for the first time.

On Monday, the federal judge presiding over the classified documents case in Florida allowed the Justice Department to release part of Smith’s final report. According to court filings, the report is a detailed review of the decisions Smith made in his two indictments against Trump.

Jack Smith, the DOJ prosecutor, faced criticism for his rush to indict Trump before the 2024 election, allegedly violating guidelines. Despite efforts, Trump was not tried before being re-elected president.

Trump allegedly tried to keep Mike Pence mentally isolated and said people would "hate his guts" if he certified Biden's 2020 win.

Smith's report provides new details about election-interference charges against Trump, says he believes election victory saved him from conviction.

Smith led the federal cases against Donald Trump on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat and mishandling of classified documents. Trump suggested he might seek retribution.

In a last rebuke to the former president he investigated for two years, special counsel Jack Smith denounced Donald Trump for levying "laughable" attacks on the DOJ.

A three-day injunction has expired, and the document's fate is being closely watched by Trump and politicians and pundits on all sides.

With actions big and small, Trump has spent his first days in office pushing the levers of government – and his unique powers as commander in chief – to target his perceived political enemies both inside and outside the government.
