A big decision came from the federal appeals court in Atlanta on Thursday. They said the special counsel's report on Donald Trump and the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack can be made public. But, there's a catch. The lower court's three-day hold is still in place, giving Trump time to appeal to the Supreme Court. This is just one chapter in the ongoing legal drama. The court also told the Justice Department they can ask to lift this temporary hold. The report is about two things: the 2020 election and the classified documents Trump is accused of mishandling.
Trump and his former co-defendants aren't happy about the report and have been fighting to keep it private. They say a previous ruling makes the report and its release illegal. Attorney General Merrick Garland wants to release one part of the report to the public and show the other part to some lawmakers privately. The report is done, but there are still many legal hurdles to clear before it's out in the open.
