5月20日（路透社）——一名前美国司法部律师因向自己的电子邮箱发送特别检察官杰克·史密斯一份未公开的报告副本而被控罪，该报告涉及现已被驳回的指控特朗普总统在首届任期结束后留存机密文件的刑事案件。
曾任职于美国南佛罗里达州联邦检察官办公室的卡门·林伯格，于周三在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩联邦法院举行的听证会上对与窃取和隐瞒政府记录相关的指控拒不认罪。

她的律师未立即回应置评请求。
史密斯牵头的案件指控特朗普非法储存与美国国防相关的文件，包括美国核计划相关文件，存放在他的海湖庄园社交俱乐部，并阻碍美国政府追回这些材料的工作。
由特朗普任命的佛罗里达州联邦地区法官艾琳·坎农于2024年驳回了该项起诉，认定在民主党总统乔·拜登政府任期内，史密斯并未获得司法部的合法任命。
被任命负责部分政治敏感调查的特别检察官需要起草报告提交给美国司法部长，详细说明其关于是否寻求起诉的结论。

但坎农去年禁止公开史密斯最终报告中与机密文件案相关的部分内容。
根据周三公开的起诉书，林伯格去年在坎农作出裁决前担任该办公室佛罗里达州皮尔斯堡分部的首席助理联邦检察官期间，收到了该部分报告的副本。
起诉书显示，林伯格在2025年末曾两次将包含该报告内容的文件发送至自己的个人账户，并将文件分别命名为“Chocolate_cake_recipe.pdf”和“Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf”以隐瞒其行为。
起诉书未提及林伯格将文件发送至自己邮箱后是否使用过这些文件，以及具体用途。

May 20 (Reuters) – A former U.S. Department of Justice attorney has been charged with emailing herself copies of an unreleased volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report concerning the now-dismissed criminal case accusing President Trump of retaining classified documents after his first term.
Carmen Lineberger, who had worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, pleaded not guilty to charges related to the theft and concealment of government records during a Wednesday hearing in federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Her lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump was accused in the case pursued by Smith of illegally storing documents related to U.S. national defense, including the American nuclear program, at his Mar-a-Lago social club and obstructing U.S. government efforts to retrieve the material.
Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, dismissed the indictment in 2024, finding that Smith had not been lawfully appointed by the Justice Department during Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration.
Special counsels, who are appointed to lead certain politically sensitive investigations, are required to draft reports to the U.S. attorney general detailing their conclusions on whether to seek charges.

But Cannon last year barred disclosure of the portion of Smith’s final report that related to the classified documents case.
According to an indictment unsealed on Wednesday, Lineberger had received a copy of that volume last year before Cannon ruled while serving as the managing assistant U.S. attorney for her office’s branch in Fort Pierce, Florida.
The indictment said Lineberger on two occasions in late 2025 emailed her personal account a file that contained the volume, concealing her actions by saving the records under the file names “Chocolate_cake_recipe.pdf” and “Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf.”
The indictment contains no allegations concerning what, if anything, Lineberger did with the documents after emailing them to herself.
