司法部领导呼吁对约翰·博尔顿涉嫌处理机密文件不当提起指控
摘要
司法部高级官员正在推动本周对前国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿提起涉嫌处理机密文件不当的指控，尽管内部对案件的时机和力度存在分歧。
司法部高级官员正在倡导本周对前国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿提起指控，指控其涉嫌处理机密文件不当。然而，一些检察官认为，到年底可能会形成更有力的案件，并警告过早采取行动可能削弱案件的力度。
副检察长办公室的一名律师已敦促马里兰州美国检察官办公室在周五之前对博尔顿提起指控。相比之下，该办公室的检察官以及华盛顿特区的一位高级国家安全检察官则反对这一时间表，认为其过于激进。一名司法部官员正在考虑退出此案，以表示对该指令的反对。
调查人员此前已从博尔顿的住所和办公室查获大量文件，其中一些被标记为机密。在提起指控之前，可能需要对证据进行进一步审查并进行更多证人访谈。
博尔顿的律师阿比·洛威尔表示，相关文件可追溯至博尔顿在乔治·W·布什政府任职期间，并声称彻底审查将证明博尔顿对这些文件的处理是适当的。
司法部和博尔顿的法律团队均拒绝对此事作进一步评论。
