U.S. Justice Department should release report on overturning presidential election

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said the U.S. Department of Justice should disclose the results of the investigation while opposing the release of the special counsel's investigation report on the alleged reversal of the 2020 presidential election results.

The U.S. Department of Justice said on the 8th local time that among the investigation reports of the special counsel, a report on the alleged reversal of the 2020 presidential election results, which coincided with the January 6 Capitol riot, should be released.

Special counsel Jack Smith, appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice earlier, investigated Trump on charges of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election, leaking confidential documents and illegally storing them.

After Trump's presidential victory in November last year, the U.S. Department of Justice gave up prosecution on the basis of its policy not to prosecute the incumbent president, but Special Counsel Smith wrote a final report on the investigation into Trump.

The New York Times reported that the draft report on the leak and illegal storage of confidential documents reportedly included the statement that Trump had criminal intentions and was the head of the crime.

A federal judge in Florida decided on the 7th local time not to release the report of the special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the alleged overturning of the 2020 presidential election results until the final judgment of the appeals court is made by Trump.
