Ex-Prosecutor Indicted for Emailing Secret Trump Probe Report in Bundt Cake File
A former federal prosecutor, Carmen Lineberger of the Southern District of Florida, was indicted on two counts of theft of government property and charges of concealing, removing, and altering public records for downloading Volume II of Jack Smith’s Trump investigation report and emailing it to her personal account using file names like Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf (and Chocolate_cake_recipe.pdf); she pleaded not guilty at arraignment. The Volume II material had been blocked from public release by Judge Aileen Cannon, reflecting ongoing disputes over Smith’s report and the Trump investigation.
