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.

Cannon’s ruling could make it easier for the Trump administration to bury the report, which recounts Smith’s investigation into the classified records that Trump stored at his Mar-a-Lago home after his first term and his alleged attempt to obstruct efforts to retrieve them.

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.
