Carmen Lineberger illegally kept Department of Justice (DOJ) materials related to former Special Counsel Jack Smith\u2019s Florida case against Trump for herself, a grand jury alleged Tuesday. Lineberger\u2019s team, led by Smith, alleged in the probe that Trump illegally kept sensitive national security documents after his first presidential term.

An attorney for Lineberger did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment. She is charged with theft of government money or property, destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations and concealment, removal or mutilation of public records. The defendant faces a combined 24 years in prison if convicted on all charges, the DOJ said.<\/p>\n

Lineberger\u2019s unlawful behavior included sending a copy of Smith\u2019s report on the Florida Trump case to her personal email in September under the file name \u201cBundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf,\u201d the DOJ alleged.\u00a0Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had previously ordered attorneys in the case not to share the report outside official channels. Lineberger also illegally saved an internal DOJ memo and internal messages in one document titled \u201cChocolate_cake_recipe.pdf,\u201d according to the indictment.<\/p>\n

Smith dropped the document-related Trump case and his other case alleging 2020 election interference after Trump won reelection in 2024. Judge Cannon ruled months before Smith\u2019s decision that the Biden administration appointing him as special counsel was unconstitutional. The ruling sided with a arguing the appointment needed congressional approval.<\/p>\n
