佛罗里达州一名由特朗普任命的法官周一裁定,特别顾问杰克·史密斯关于唐纳德·特朗普在其第一任期结束后在海湖庄园涉嫌不当处理机密文件及妨碍司法公正的最终报告不会被公布。
美国地区法官艾琳·坎农做出这一裁决,她此前在特朗普再次当选总统前驳回了史密斯对其提起的诉讼。这一决定是特朗普试图将特别顾问调查结果永久隐瞒公众的重大胜利。
史密斯在2025年初卸任前,已将其两卷本的最终报告移交当时的司法部长梅里克·加兰。报告第一部分详细描述了特朗普试图推翻2020年选举结果的行为,该部分在特朗普重返白宫前已公布。但特朗普及其同案被告提起的法律诉讼导致报告第二部分一直处于密封状态。
坎农在其15页的裁决中表示,“在检察官的案件被驳回后,允许其‘公开传播案件中产生的大量证据材料’显然不符合惯例。”
“法院难以找到这样的情况:前特别顾问在提起刑事指控后,且未认定有罪(至少在本案这种情况下,被告从一开始就对指控提出异议并仍宣称无罪),还会发布报告。”她写道。
坎农在2024年裁定史密斯担任特别顾问的职位不合法,随后进一步指责他甚至撰写了这份报告,称其违反了她之前终止其办公室处理机密文件相关事务的裁定。
“法院不必容忍这种厚颜无耻的策略,也不应实质延续特别顾问对本法院自身命令的违反。”她写道。
坎农拒绝了特朗普两名前同案被告要求下令销毁该报告的请求。
针对南佛罗里达州联邦法院审理的特朗普及其两名雇员案件的第二卷报告的透明度问题,仍在接受公众透明度组织提起的上诉检验。
Judge Aileen Cannon bars the release of special counsel report on Trump’s handling of classified documents

Special counsel Jack Smith’s final report on Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified records and obstruction of justice at Mar-a-Lago after his first term will not be released, a Trump-appointed judge in Florida ruled Monday.
The decision by US District Judge Aileen Cannon, who threw out the case Smith brought against the president before he was re-elected, is a major win in Trump’s efforts to keep the special counsel’s findings forever hidden from public view.
Smith had turned over his final, two-volume report to then-Attorney General Merrick Garland before he left his post in early 2025. The first part of the report, which detailed Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, was released before Trump returned to the White House. But a legal fight waged by Trump and his co-defendants in the case kept the second part of that report under seal.
Cannon said in her 15-page ruling that “it is certainly not customary” for a prosecutor whose case was thrown out to later be allowed to “publicly disseminate large swaths of discovery generated in the case.”
“The Court strains to find a situation in which a former special counsel has released a report after initiating criminal charges that did not result in a finding of guilt, at least not in a situation like this one, where the defendants contested the charges from the outset and still proclaim their innocence,” she wrote.
Cannon, who concluded in 2024 that Smith was unlawfully serving as special counsel, went on to chide him for even writing the report in the first place, saying it violated her earlier decisions putting an end to the work of his office on the classified documents matter.
“The Court need not countenance this brazen stratagem or effectively perpetuate the Special Counsel’s breach of this Court’s own order,” she wrote.
Cannon declined a request from two of Trump’s former co-defendants in the case to order the report to be destroyed.
Transparency around Smith’s final report on the South Florida federal case against Trump and two of his employees, called Volume II, is still being tested in appeals brought by public transparency groups.
