BI Director Kash Patel announced that a former Justice Department attorney tied to former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump has been criminally charged for allegedly stealing and concealing confidential government records.
According to Patel, former federal prosecutor Carmen Lineberger is accused of transmitting confidential investigative materials from the Trump investigation to her personal email accounts while disguising the files as dessert recipes.
