Federal prosecutors charge a former Department of Justice prosecutor with allegedly handling and transmitting a sealed report from special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents. Multiple outlets report that the indictment alleges she sent herself a copy of the report to her personal email accounts. Sources describe the report as sealed and as related to Smith’s criminal case, which is now closed. PBS and other outlets say the conduct is alleged to have occurred despite a judge’s order requiring the document to remain under tight control. Bloomberg and ABC News describe the defendant as a former federal prosecutor in southern Florida and characterize the charges as involving illegal transmission of a sealed report. Fox and NPR similarly report that the core allegation is that she emailed confidential investigation materials from the Smith matter to her personal accounts. The outlets agree on the basic outline of the case: a DOJ prosecutor is accused of accessing a sealed special counsel document and emailing it to herself in violation of court restrictions. The reporting does not indicate the defendant’s response or whether the report contained specific findings.
