The DOJ plans on releasing the portion of Smith's report that deals with Trump's alleged efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election.

In a court filing, the department indicated that the report by the special counsel, Jack Smith, may not be made public before Donald J. Trump takes office, raising the prospect that the new administration will bury it.

The Justice Department says it will release special counsel Jack Smith’s findings on Donald Trump’s efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election but will keep the rest of the report under wraps for now.

Justice Department lawyers said the plan is to release a special counsel report about Trump's election interference charges, not classified documents.

A lead prosecutor on the criminal case accusing Donald Trump of illegally holding onto classified documents has left the U.S. Justice Department ahead of the president-elect's return to office, a department spokesperson confirmed on Monday.
