From the introduction of the Order:
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the Emergency Motion to Preclude Release of Volume II of Special Counsel’s Report (“Emergency Motion”), filed by Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira [ECF No. 679], as well as President-Elect Trump’s Motion to Intervene or Alternative Request to Participate as Amicus [ECF No. 681].1 As narrowed by the Court’s prior Order on Volume I, which has since been publicly released [ECF Nos. 697, 702], the Emergency Motion seeks to preclude the Department of Justice (“Department”)—prior to the conclusion of proceedings in this criminal action—from releasing a redacted version of Volume II of Special Counsel Smith’s Report for in camera review by the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees [ECF No. 712]. Volume II contains voluminous and detailed Rule 16 discovery about the allegations in this criminal case, which remains pending on appeal as to Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira [ECF Nos. 672, 673]. See 11th Cir. Appeal No. 24-12311.2 Following a hearing and review of all relevant filings, including an in camera review of Volume II itself, Defendants’ Emergency Motion is GRANTED as to Volume II [ECF No. 679], and President-Elect Trump’s Motion to Intervene is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to Volume II but granted as to the alternative, unopposed request to participate as amicus to challenge release of Volume II [ECF No. 681; ECF No. 710 p. 9; ECF No. 702 (denying motion to intervene as to Volume I)].

Klugh wins again. 🐐
At least Judge Canon can’t get nominated for the 11th Circuit now that Trump declared the federal government as a meritocracy… right?
