u.s. justice department against his critics. mr. cohen, thank you for being here with us tonight. before we get into the trump sentencing, i must ask you some breaking news we got today. special counsel jack smith has officially resigned. smith has indicated in november he would be leaving before trump took office. we learned of his resignation in a court filing to judge aileen cannon, the trump appointed judge who dismissed the classified documents case against him. cannon is at the center of a legal fight over the release of smith's final report on his trump investigation, which has been delivered to attorney general merrick garland. should the public see this full report, will they see it? and should president biden himself consider making the whole thing public before it's too late? i don't think so. i know a lot of people are going to say, oh my god, what are you doing? are you bending the knee? the answer is no. right now there's litigation by trump and he's entitled to that type of litigation that says that we don't believe that that this should be. and i know it's within t

u.s. justice department? why is she blocking it from being released? >> that seems to be two primary reasons. one is she believes that because he's an illegitimate special counsel, anything that he gathered as a part of his work also can't be used now to kind of go through a back door and say, i'm not legitimate. >> but here's everything i learned while i was illegitimate. >> the second argument, of course, is that it will prejudice the two people who still have remaining cases. yes, trump's case is no longer active down there, but he still has two codefendants known as coconspirators. they take issue with that assessment because they believe it unfairly ties him to the to the former president, united states and soon to be future president of united states, and that the release of the information is going to be so prejudicial that it will have the effect of being an indictment all of itself. now, these two arguments, of course, are pretty novel in the context of this case. prejudice, due process, of course, legitimacy, all key concepts. >> but here, as
