Trump Cabinet nominee's future may hinge on upcoming Jack Smith report, legal expert says

A former FBI general counsel, Andrew Weissmann, discussed the upcoming release of special counsel Jack Smith's final report on Donald Trump's handling of government documents. He noted that the report could impact the nomination of Kash Patel as FBI director. Weissmann mentioned that a temporary stay on the report will end soon, allowing the public to see findings related to both the January 6th investigation and the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. He highlighted that the report may contain significant information about Trump and Patel, who reportedly testified about Trump's alleged declassification of documents.
