Prejudice to Defendants: They contend that public disclosure of the report could irreversibly prejudice ongoing legal matters involving Trump's co-defendants, who still face charges 42.

Presidential Immunity: The lawyers argue that the report violates the Presidential Transition Act and the Presidential Immunity Doctrine, asserting that Smith lacks valid authority to issue the report 65.

They claim that releasing the report would illegally interfere with the presidential transition and is merely a political attack against Trump, labeling it a "politically charged assault" 13.
