周一，一名联邦法官同意永久阻止前特别检察官杰克·史密斯报告第二卷的发布——该报告主要涉及唐纳德·特朗普总统在其第一任期结束后处理机密材料的情况——这对总统及其共同被告来说是重大胜利。
美国地区法官艾琳·坎农（Aileen Cannon）是特朗普任命的法官，她批准了总统的请求，永久阻止第二卷报告的发布，裁定其发布将对特朗普以及机密文件案中的共同被告构成“明显不公”。
“特别检察官史密斯在没有合法授权的情况下，在此案中提起了一项起诉，并启动了导致所有指控最终被驳回的诉讼程序，”坎农周一表示。
该裁决禁止司法部“向司法部外的任何人发布、分发、传达或分享第二卷或其草稿中的任何信息或结论”。
这一裁决恰逢史密斯特别检察官调查的第二卷原定于周二发布的前一天。
特朗普的前辩护律师肯德拉·沃顿（Kendra Wharton）对坎农阻止史密斯报告第二卷公开的决定表示赞扬，她在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字版：“她在这些重要的正当程序问题上所展现的勇气和司法决心应该得到认可，并应在全美法学院的课堂上被教授。”
截至周一，史密斯的律师事务所和司法部均未立即回应福克斯新闻数字版就周一裁决的置评请求。
坎农此前曾裁定史密斯被违宪任命为特别检察官，尽管这一问题在特朗普 2024 年再次当选后最终被驳回。
在她周一长达 15 页的裁决中，坎农表示，允许发布史密斯特别检察官报告第二卷将“违背基本的公平和正义观念”，并可能导致受保护信息（包括律师-客户特权所涵盖的材料）的共享。
“此外，虽然前特别检察官确实在工作结束时发布了最终报告，但他们显然要么根本没有提起指控，要么是在通过认罪或审判作出有罪裁决后才发布的，”坎农说。
“法院难以找到一种情况，即前特别检察官在提起未导致有罪认定的刑事指控后发布报告，至少在这种情况下——被告从一开始就对指控提出异议并仍宣称无罪——不存在这样的情况，”她补充道。
史密斯于 2022 年被前司法部长梅里克·加兰（Merrick Garland）任命，负责调查特朗普及其盟友据称试图推翻 2020 年选举结果的行为，以及特朗普在 2021 年卸任后将据称属于机密的文件存放在其佛罗里达州棕榈滩海湖庄园的行为。
史密斯在这两个案件中都对特朗普提起了指控。
在特朗普当选后，这些指控被撤销，这符合司法部长期以来的政策，即不鼓励对在任总统提起联邦刑事指控。史密斯随后不久辞职。
特朗普的前辩护律师肯德拉·沃顿（Kendra Wharton）对坎农阻止史密斯报告第二卷公开的决定表示赞扬，她在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字版：“她在这些重要的正当程序问题上所展现的勇气和司法决心应该得到认可，并应在全美法学院的课堂上被教授。”
至于史密斯，他一直强烈否认其团队存在政治动机，通过公开和私下的言论在 12 月和 1 月向众议院共和党人捍卫其团队的行动。
他的团队已掌握了他所谓的“有力证据”，即特朗普在 2021 年 1 月卸任后故意在其私人海湖庄园保留了高度机密文件，并一直在阻碍政府收回这些记录。
“我在调查中做出的决定不考虑特朗普总统的政治关联、活动、信仰或 2024 年总统选举中的候选人资格，”史密斯在 12 月 17 日接受众议院司法委员会成员采访时表示。

Federal judge blocks release of Jack Smith report’s second volume
Published February 23, 2026 9:45am EST | Updated February 23, 2026 10:26am EST
A federal judge on Monday agreed to permanently block the release of volume two of former special counsel Jack Smith’s report — centered on President Donald Trump’s handling of classified materials after his first term in office — in a significant victory for the president and his co-defendants.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, granted the president’s request to permanently block the release of the second volume of the report, ruling that its publication would represent a “manifest injustice” both to Trump and the co-defendants in the classified documents case.
“Special Counsel Smith, acting without lawful authority, obtained an indictment in this action and initiated proceedings that resulted in a final order of dismissal of all charges,” Cannon said Monday.
The ruling blocks the Justice Department from “releasing, distributing, conveying, or sharing with anyone outside the Department of Justice any information or conclusions in Volume II or in drafts thereof.”
It also comes just day before Volume II of Smith’s special counsel probe was slated to be released on Tuesday.
Trump’s former defense attorney, Kendra Wharton, praised Cannon’s decision to block Volume II of Smith’s report from being released publicly, telling Fox News Digital in a statement that her “courage and judicial resolve on these important due process issues should be recognized and taught in law school classrooms across America.”
Neither Smith’s law firm nor the Justice Department immediately responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on Monday’s ruling.
Cannon previously ruled that Smith was unconstitutionally appointed as special counsel, though the matter was ultimately dismissed following Trump’s re-election in 2024.
In her 15-page order Monday, Cannon said allowing the release of Volume II of the special counsel report would “contravene basic notions of fairness and justice” and likely prompt the sharing of protected information, including material covered by attorney-client privilege.
“Moreover, while it is true that former special counsels have released final reports at the conclusion of their work, it appears they have done so either after electing not to bring charges at all or after adjudications of guilt by plea or trial,” Cannon said.
“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 added.
Smith was tapped by former Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022 to investigate the alleged effort by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election, as well as Trump’s retention of allegedly classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach after leaving office in 2021.
Smith had brought charges against Trump in both cases.
The charges were dropped after Trump’s election, in keeping with a long-standing Justice Department policy that discourages prosecuting sitting presidents on federal criminal charges. Smith resigned from his role shortly afterward.
Trump’s former defense attorney, Kendra Wharton, praised Cannon’s decision to block Volume II of Smith’s report from being released publicly, telling Fox News Digital in a statement that her “courage and judicial resolve on these important due process issues should be recognized and taught in law school classrooms across America.”
Smith, for his part, has forcefully sought to dispute the notion that his team had acted politically, using public and private remarks to House Republicans in December and January to defend his team’s actions.
His team had developed what he described as “powerful evidence” that Trump had willfully retained highly classified documents after leaving office in January 2021 at his private Mar-a-Lago residence, and had been obstructing the government’s efforts to recover the records.
“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association, activities, beliefs or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election,” Smith told members of the House Judiciary Committee in a Dec. 17 interview.
