President-elect Donald Trump sounded the alarm to his followers Sunday after a federal appeals court cleared the way for Attorney General Merrick Garland to release special counsel Jack Smith's election subversion report as early as Monday.
In a post on his Trump Social platform, Trump suggested Smith should not have been "allowed" to write the report, which has already been provided to the attorney general.
"Why would Deranged Jack Smith be allowed to issue a 'report' on a complete and total Witch Hunt against me, strictly for political purposes, when he was thrown off the case and ultimately dismissed by the DOJ," Trump wrote. "Therefore, to put it nicely, he was illegitimately involved in this political persecution, and all of the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by our hapless government were, simply put, wasted!"

"He has already filled thousands of rejected statements and documents against me, which were a 'joke,' and the public just voted for me, in a landslide, to be their President!" he added.
Garland has said he intended to release parts of the report about Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Portions of the report about the mishandling of classified documents were not expected to be released by the attorney general.
