一名前联邦检察官本周遭到起诉，罪名是将一份被法官密封的、有关司法部对特朗普总统调查的报告发送至自己的邮箱。
卡门·林伯格周二被起诉两项窃取政府财产罪，外加隐瞒、转移公共记录以及篡改公共记录罪名。她于周三出庭受审并拒不认罪。
起诉书中涉及的报告由前司法部特别检察官杰克·史密斯撰写，其团队曾指控特朗普试图推翻2020年大选失利结果，并涉嫌不当处理机密文件。该报告中与大选相关的部分于2025年1月中旬公开，但一周后，美国地区法官艾琳·坎农封锁了前司法部长梅里克·加兰“及其继任者”发布有关机密文件部分的权限，该部分即所谓的“第二卷”。
一份最新公开的起诉书指控林伯格——曾任佛罗里达南区联邦检察官办公室执行助理检察官——于去年12月下载了第二卷报告，并将其保存为“Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf”（磅蛋糕食谱.pdf）。随后，她据称通过自己的司法部工作邮箱将该文件发送至个人邮箱。
起诉书还指控林伯格于2025年9月下载了司法部内部备忘录的部分内容，并以“Chocolate_cake_recipe.pdf”（巧克力蛋糕食谱.pdf）为文件名保存后发送至自己的个人邮箱。
起诉书中并未说明林伯格涉嫌持有这些文件的目的。
林伯格的律师拒绝置评。
此次起诉书中的核心文件第二卷报告，是在史密斯2023年指控特朗普保留其首届任期内的敏感政府文件并将其存放在海湖庄园后编制的。这位前总统及两名雇员还被指控共谋阻挠联邦调查。特朗普长期以来否认存在不当行为，并将此次调查——包括联邦调查局搜查海湖庄园——描述为出于政治动机。
坎农曾于2024年以史密斯任命非法为由驳回了该起诉。随后，在特朗普宣誓就职连任总统的次日，坎农表示司法部不得发布或分享史密斯关于此次调查的报告，理由是这可能会对两名仍处于刑事诉讼程序中的特朗普助手造成不公平的偏见。
坎农并未阻止司法部发布史密斯报告的第一卷，该卷聚焦特朗普在2020年大选失利后试图继续留任的行为。2024年中期，最高法院裁定总统针对官方行为享有豁免权，特朗普相关指控因此陷入僵局，在特朗普重新当选总统后，该案被驳回。史密斯在第一卷报告中指出，若非特朗普重新当选，他本应被定罪。
DOJ charges ex-prosecutor with emailing secret Jack Smith report to herself under file name “Bundt Cake Recipe”

A former federal prosecutor was charged this week with emailing herself a report on the Justice Department’s investigation into President Trump that a judge had kept under lock and key.
Carmen Lineberger was indicted Tuesday on two counts of theft of government property, plus counts of concealing and removing a public record and altering a public record. She was arraigned Wednesday and pleaded not guilty.
The charges focus on a report penned by former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, whose team charged Mr. Trump with trying to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegedly mishandling classified documents. The election-related parts of the report were released in mid-January 2025, but a week later, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon blocked former Attorney General Merrick Garland “or his successor(s)” from releasing the portion on classified documents, known as “Volume II.”
A newly unsealed indictment accuses Lineberger — previously the managing assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida — of downloading a copy of Volume II last December and saving it under the file name “Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf.” She then allegedly emailed it from her Justice Department account to her personal account.
Lineberger was also accused of downloading portions of an internal Justice Department memorandum and emailing it to herself in September 2025. Those records were allegedly saved under the file name “Chocolate_cake_recipe.pdf.”
The indictment does not specify what, if anything, Lineberger allegedly planned to do with the documents.
Lineberger’s attorney declined to comment.
The Volume II report at the center of Tuesday’s indictment was compiled after Smith charged Mr. Trump in 2023 with retaining sensitive government documents from his first term and storing them at Mar-a-Lago. The then-former president and two employees were also charged with conspiracy to obstruct a federal investigation. Mr. Trump has long denied wrongdoing and cast the investigation — which included an FBI search of Mar-a-Lago — as politically motivated.
Cannon dismissed the indictment in 2024 on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed. Then, one day after Mr. Trump was sworn in for his second term, Cannon said the Justice Department cannot release or share Smith’s report on the probe, on the grounds that it could unfairly prejudice the two Trump staffers whose criminal cases remained open.
Cannon did not prevent the Justice Department from releasing Volume I of Smith’s report, which focused on Mr. Trump’s efforts to remain in office after losing in 2020. The charges against Mr. Trump hit a roadblock in mid-2024 after the Supreme Court ruled the president has immunity for official acts, and the case was dismissed after Mr. Trump won back the presidency. Smith argued in Volume I that Mr. Trump would have been convicted if not for his return to office.
