前特别检察官杰克·史密斯于1月22日在华盛顿特区众议院司法委员会听证会上作证。
佛罗里达南区前美国助理首席检察官被控通过邮件窃取特别检察官杰克·史密斯针对唐纳德·特朗普总统调查中最受关注的机密司法部文件，她将这些文件伪装成甜点食谱发送到自己的私人邮箱。
62岁的卡门·梅赛德斯·林伯格被控两项盗窃政府金钱或财产罪，涉案价值不足1000美元。她于周三提出无罪抗辩。
检察官指控林伯格于2025年1月在自己的司法部工作邮箱中收到一封邮件，内含一份题为“第二卷报告”的副本，该报告与一起未决调查相关。这份第二卷报告是史密斯针对特朗普及其涉嫌不当处理机密文件调查的最终结论。
调查和起诉特朗普期间，林伯格在位于皮尔斯堡的佛罗里达南区美国检察官办公室担任管理职务。
虽然她并未加入特别检察官团队，但美国检察官办公室曾为史密斯的部分工作提供支持，包括在特别检察官就职前以及2022年特朗普在海湖庄园的私人区域被搜查期间。
司法部指控林伯格于2025年9月将一份司法部内部备忘录的部分内容以及她在工作邮箱中收到的相关邮件转发至自己的私人Hotmail邮箱，邮件主题为“巧克力蛋糕食谱”。
林伯格还被指控于2025年12月登录她今年早些时候收到的第二卷报告邮件，并将其分享至自己的私人Gmail邮箱，文件被重命名为“磅蛋糕食谱.pdf”。
地区法官艾琳·坎农于2026年2月禁止公开第二卷报告。她在一份长达15页的裁决中写道，对于已被驳回的案件，检察官公开调查结果“不符合惯例”。此前坎农以任命史密斯为特别检察官违宪为由，驳回了对特朗普的指控，当时特朗普尚未连任第二任总统。
起诉书提到，坎农于2025年1月发布命令，禁止任何司法部官员“向部门外发布、分享或传输”该报告。
特朗普的司法部高层官员（他们曾在机密文件案中担任特朗普的私人律师）以及特朗普两名同案被告的律师辩称，史密斯提交的文件永远不应被公开，且本身无效。
若罪名成立，林伯格最高可面临20年监禁。

A former managing assistant US attorney in the Southern District of Florida has been charged with emailing herself the most sought-after, confidential Justice Department records in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump, masquerading them as dessert recipes.
Carmen Mercedes Lineberger, 62, was charged with two counts of theft of government money or property, valued less than $1,000. She entered a plea of not guilty on Wednesday.
Prosecutors allege Lineberger received an email on her Justice Department account in January 2025 with copies of a report entitled “Volume II Report” that was related to a pending investigation. The Volume II report was the final finding of Smith’s investigation of Trump and his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Lineberger was in a supervisory role in the Southern District of Florida US Attorney’s Office, based in Fort Pierce, during the time of the investigation and prosecution of Trump.
While she was not on the special counsel team, the US Attorney’s Office played a supporting role to some parts of Smith’s work, including before the special counsel was appointed and Trump’s personal area of his Mar-a-Lago resort were searched in 2022.
The Justice Department alleges that in September 2025, Lineberger compiled portions of an internal DOJ memorandum and transmitted messages she received on her government email account to her personal Hotmail email account, with the subject line “chocolate cake recipe.”
Lineberger is also accused of accessing the email she received earlier in the year with the Volume II Report in December 2025, and sharing it to her personal Gmail account with the file renamed “Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf”
District Judge Aileen Cannon barred the release of Volume II in February 2026. She wrote in a 15-page ruling that is was “not customary” for a prosecutor to release findings publicly for a case that was dismissed. Cannon had tossed the case against Trump before he was re-elected to a second term, citing that the appointment of Smith as a special counsel was unconstitutional.
The indictment mentions that Cannon issued an order on January 2025 regarding the report that prohibited any Justice Department official from “releasing, sharing or transmitting” the report outside of the department.
Top Trump Justice Department officials, who were Trump’s personal attorneys on the classified documents case, and lawyers for his two codefendants have argued that Smith’s filings should never be released and were invalid.
If convicted, Lineberger could face up to 20 years in prison.
