US judge permanently blocks release of report on Trump documents case

A U.S. judge has permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing a prosecutor’s report related to the criminal case alleging that former President Donald Trump unlawfully retained classified documents after his presidency.

The ruling prevents public disclosure of the report, limiting access to certain parties as determined by the court.

The decision marks a decisive step in the legal proceedings surrounding the handling and potential disclosure of sensitive materials connected to Trump.
