Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday extended the hold she has placed blocking the Justice Department from sharing special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into President Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents with members of Congress.

In a new ruling released Tuesday, Cannon granted a request from Trump's co-defendants, his aides Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, to deny the Department of Justice 's request to release the report. The move blocks the report from being shared with the heads of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Cannon told the Justice Department to keep the report under wraps, raising the likelihood it will never be seen by the public.
