DOJ Charges Ex-Prosecutor with Stealing Trump Documents Case Report

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged a former prosecutor with stealing a confidential report on the Trump classified-documents case. The report was prepared by Jack Smith, who is leading the investigation into the handling of sensitive documents.

According to reports, the ex-prosecutor allegedly emailed the report to herself under a file name that included “Bundt Cake Recipe.” The DOJ has charged the individual with unauthorized access and theft of government property.

Separately, another Florida prosecutor has been charged with emailing herself copies of the same report. This incident occurred while the report was still sealed and not yet publicly available.

The DOJ has also charged a former federal prosecutor with stealing copies of the unreleased Jack Smith report. The charges include unauthorized access and theft of government property.

These incidents have raised concerns about the handling of sensitive information in the Trump investigation. The DOJ is investigating how the reports were mishandled and who may have been involved in the unauthorized disclosure.

The individuals charged in these cases are expected to appear before a court for arraignment.
