As the house built by Jack Smith is slowly dismantled, some House Democrats are looking to preserve the documentation — and urging the U.S. Department of Justice to take extraordinary measures.
In a Wednesday letter, House Judiciary Democrats urged U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to release, in full, the second volume of the special counsel report regarding President-elect Donald Trump.
“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,” the letter reads. “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, and it is essential to the rule of law that Justice.”
The Democrats who signed on to the letter are apparently willing to let the rule of law lapse on the remaining co-defendants in the extant Mar-a-Lago case in order to make sure the report is released this week.
