A former federal prosecutor, Carmen Mercedes Lineberger, was indicted on four counts for stealing, concealing and altering confidential files from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents. While serving as managing assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida, Lineberger obtained a sealed volume of Smith’s report, renamed the files with innocuous titles such as “chocolate cake recipe,” and emailed them to her personal Hotmail and Gmail accounts, though she did not share them with others. The indictment, filed in West Palm Beach, notes that if convicted she could face over 20 years in prison. The files include material from a report that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon barred from public release, asserting that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional after she dismissed the case against Trump in July 2024.
