The Pennsylvania Supreme Court\u2019s Disciplinary Board \u201cshould pursue discipline\u201d regarding Carmen Lineberger\u2019s law license in the state if she is convicted of her federal charges, the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) said in the obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Trump administration\u2019s accused Lineberger of storing files from former Special Counsel Jack Smith\u2019s Florida case against Trump on personal email accounts under the names \u201cBundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf\u201d and \u201cChocolate_cake_recipe.pdf.\u201d (RELATED: SCOOP: Colorado Could Be In Hot Water With Feds For Punishing Election Official)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLineberger should be investigated for her alleged efforts to steal documents she was not permitted to take in her civilian capacity,\u201d CASA told the board. \u201cNot only was it a crime to do so, but the manner in which she took the documents was dishonest, deceitful, and misrepresented to her employer the nature of what she was taking.\u201d<\/p>\n

An attorney for Lineberger declined to comment to the DCNF.<\/p>\n

Smith and Lineberger\u2019s probe under former President Joe Biden led to charges that Trump illegally stored classified documents at his Florida estate after his first presidential term. Smith dropped the Florida case and another case alleging 2020 election meddling after Trump won reelection and a judge declared Smith\u2019s special counsel appointment unconstitutional in 2024.<\/p>\n

CASA\u2019s complaint alleges Lineberger is also breaking Pennsylvania\u2019s rules by continuing to claim her Department of Justice (DOJ) address in Florida, citing her public listing on the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board\u2019s website. Her profile still says she is employed by the DOJ.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, the manner in which Lineberger went about stealing records also demonstrates dishonesty, deceit and misrepresentation,\u201d CASA wrote. \u201cHere, she renamed the files to suggest that the documents were cake recipes. This demonstrates that she knew that\u2014at the very least\u2014 someone in authority would not permit her to possess the records she was converting to her private email. She was covering up the true nature of the contents to evade authority, regardless of whether she knew that she was committing a crime.\u201d<\/p>\n
