AI Summary:
Judge Aileen Cannon directed the US Department of Justice not to release the report until a federal appeals court rules. Those co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, remain subject of a continuing appeal. They have argued that the report’s release could interfere with their right to a fair hearing. Judge Cannon tossed the case last July, arguing that the position of “special counsel” had not been congressionally approved. In addition to the classified documents case, Smith has also probed Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election. That resulted in a separate criminal indictment in August 2023. Justice Department regulations require Smith to submit a final report to Garland. Garland has previously pledged to make public all reports from special counsels during his tenure. On Monday, he repeatedly called Smith a “disgrace”.

AI Summary:
Justin Trudeau abruptly resigned after a long and steep decline in his popularity. The driving factors behind his downfall include the soaring cost of living and housing, as well as rising immigration, but the final political blow was the resignation of his powerful and loyal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Mark Carney was considered just that in 2012 when he became the first foreigner to serve as governor of the Bank of England since the institution's inception in 1694. Carney is widely credited with helping Canada dodge the worst of the 2008 global economic crisis and helping the UK manage Brexit. The recently resigned Freeland, meanwhile, is another frontrunner. A new Canadian prime minister is unlikely to be named before Trump's inauguration on 20 January. The US president-elect has repeatedly referred to the country as the US' "51st state" he has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian goods.
