May 2026: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Member Of Jack Smith’s Team Charged With Four Felony Counts

Member Of Jack Smith’s Team Charged With Four Felony Counts
"A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida returned a four-count indictment against Carmen Lineberger, who previously served as the Managing Assistant United States Attorney (MAUSA) of the Fort Pierce branch of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (SDFL).

The indictment alleges that in separate instances in late 2025, Lineberger altered electronic file names of government records she received in her official capacity. She then transmitted those records without authorization to her personal email accounts, including Hotmail and Gmail.
According to the indictment, Lineberger saved copies under misleading file names such as “Chocolate_cake_recipe.pdf” and “Bundt_Cake_Recipe.pdf” before emailing them from her DOJ account to her personal addresses. One transmission occurred around September 2025 for the internal memorandum document, and another on or about December 1, 2025, for the report.
Prosecutors allege that with respect to the DOJ report — identified across sources as Volume II or a sealed portion of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on the investigation into then-former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents — Lineberger acted knowing that the transmission violated a court order and could impair the proper administration of the underlying criminal prosecution.
The records in question stem from the special counsel investigation led by Jack Smith into Trump’s retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. The SDFL case was filed in that district, and Lineberger’s office in Fort Pierce played a supporting role in aspects of the work, including prior to Smith’s appointment and events such as the 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago."
