on efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 presidential election, but said that most of the report will remain under wraps for now.
"While publication may not be convenient for the pacing of the District Attorney's investigation, the compelling public interest in these proceedings and the unquestionable value and importance of transparency require their release," McBurney wrote. Attorneys for a broad coalition of media organizations, including CBS News, argued in court on Jan. 24 for the entire report to be made public, saying"the public interest in the report is extraordinary."
"We are asking that this report not be released, because, you having seen that report, decisions are imminent," Willis said. Her office has not said when, or if, charges are forthcoming.
