Special Counsel Jack Smith resigned from his position on Friday after completing two criminal investigations into President-elect Donald Trump.
A footnote in a motion submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Saturday said Smith had completed his work and separated from the department on Jan. 10.
That motion urged Cannon not to renew a court order she issued last week blocking the release of Smith’s final report.
Lawyers for Trump had convinced the Trump-appointed judge to block the release of the portion of Smith’s report related to their case to her.
Trump was accused of deliberately keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago in a case that Cannon dismissed this summer and was on appeal when Trump won the November election.
Trump’s team had also asked an appeals court to block the release of the full two-part report.
Legal filings released earlier this week show that Smith has accused Trump of being “the head of the criminal conspiracies,” and his footnotes show that the combined reports total more than 200 pages.
None of Smith’s cases against Trump went to trial and the president-elect has fiercely maintained his innocence throughout the “political” prosecution.
A footnote in a motion submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Saturday said Smith had completed his work and separated from the department on Jan. 10.
