Judiciary Dems float killing Mar-a-Lago case in nudging Garland to release Trump report

House Judiciary Democrats pressed Attorney General Merrick Garland to consider ending the prosecution of President-elect Trump's two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case as a way to speed the release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on the matter.

The letter from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on panel, comes as that volume of Smith's report remains sealed amid a court battle that could keep it concealed beyond the Inauguration.

While the Justice Department has dropped all charges against Trump, their prosecution of his two co-defenders remains ongoing, and whether the Justice Department can even share the volume of the report with Judiciary lawmakers is being mulled by Judge Aileen Cannon in a Friday hearing.

"As Attorney General, it is incumbent upon you to take all necessary steps to ensure the report is released before the end of your tenure, including, if necessary, by simply dismissing the remaining criminal charges against Mr. Trump's co-conspirators, Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira," Raskin wrote in a letter also spearheaded by Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.). 

"The American people now deserve the opportunity to read Volume 2 of Special Counsel Smith's report, which explains how President Trump knowingly retained hundreds of presidential and highly classified records at his Mar-a-Lago club and then deliberately defied subpoenas, obstructed law enforcement, hid evidence, and lied about his continuing retention of these records. It is in the very nature of American democracy that the people have a right to know of the public actions of their public officials."

DOJ confirmed receipt of the letter but declined to comment.

The volume lawmakers are referencing is one of two produced by Smith. Though Trump's legal team also fought the release of that volume, Cannon allowed for its release early Tuesday morning after initially blocking its distribution.

In court filings, Garland indicated he would not release the Mar-a-Lago report at Smith's advice to avoid any risk of prejudice in the ongoing cases. 

But he also said he would allow Judiciary leaders from both chambers to review the report, adding in a letter to lawmakers that "once those criminal proceedings have concluded, releasing Volume Two of the Report to you and to the public would also be in the public interest."

The frustration for Democrats is that the case against Nauta and de Oliveira will surely be short-lived. Trump's incoming Justice Department leaders are all but certain to drop the case once Trump has been sworn in.

While that would theoretically clear the DOJ to release the Trump Mar-a-Lago report, Trump's Justice Department leaders are instead likely to shelve it, sealing it from the public.

"To the extent that such a decision to dismiss these cases might encourage these defendants to keep enabling the corruption of their superiors, those concerns are outweighed by the many indications that Mr. Trump will simply end the prosecutions against his co-conspirators upon taking office anyway and then instruct his DOJ to permanently bury this report," the lawmakers wrote.

The Ashton Jeanty Bears Smoke Just Got Even Thicker

The draft is three weeks away now. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson have pieced together an off-season that is earning widespread praise across the league. The question is whether they can stick the landing with their 1st round pick in the draft. Current projections have the top three picks likely being a mix of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. After that, it gets tricky. People in Chicago want to know where running back Ashton Jeanty will end once the dust settles.

Widespread belief has been that the Las Vegas Raiders are the heavy favorites to take him at 6th overall, with New Orleans at #9 also being a possibility. It makes sense. Las Vegas’ best option right now is a 33-year-old Raheem Mostert. New Orleans knows Alvin Kamara turns 30 in July. Both teams need to think about the future at that position. Both have head coaches who like to run the ball. One thing is clear. A source told SM that those around the league believe one thing is certain.

“He likely won’t get passed Chicago if he falls that far.”

Ashton Jeanty is a strong probability for the Bears.

Whispers from Halas Hall indicate they love the Boise State star. It isn’t hard to see why. He nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record in 2024, nearly winning the Heisman in the process. The guy carried his team to the college football playoffs. He’s built like a brick house with power, speed, contact balance, and vision. There aren’t any truly glaring weaknesses in his game. He’s earned comparisons to the likes of LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn Lynch. The Bears haven’t had a back of that caliber since Matt Forte.

Try to imagine what this offense could look like with Ashton Jeanty, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Cole Kmet all as options for quarterback Caleb Williams. Throw all of it into Johnson’s offense, and you can understand why some people around the league aren’t wild about the idea. They are quietly hoping Jeanty goes somewhere else. One thing is certain. If he gets past the Raiders, the noise will get loud in a hurry. It would mark the first time in 20 years the Bears have taken a running back in the 1st round.
