约翰·博尔顿因涉嫌处理机密信息不当被起诉

摘要

前国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿因涉嫌处理机密信息不当被起诉,这标志着近期第三位公开批评特朗普总统的知名人士被起诉。

前国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿在马里兰州被联邦大陪审团以18项与涉嫌处理机密信息不当相关的指控起诉。指控包括8项传输罪和10项非法保留国家防务信息罪。起诉书称,2018年4月至2025年8月期间,博尔顿向两名未获得必要安全许可的个人分享了超过一千页的敏感文件,其中一些文件被归类为最高机密。这些文件据称包含有关外国对手和美国秘密行动的情报。

司法部长帕梅拉·邦迪强调指控的严重性,表示:“所有美国人都应享有同等的司法待遇。任何滥用权力、危害国家安全的人都将被追究责任。没有人可以凌驾于法律之上。”

博尔顿曾于2018年4月至2019年9月担任国家安全顾问,离职后一直公开批评特朗普总统。对于此次起诉,博尔顿表示自己“已成为司法部武器化的最新目标”,并表达了“捍卫合法行为、揭露滥用权力”的意愿。

此次起诉紧随前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米和纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯的指控之后,两人同样对特朗普总统持批评态度。法律专家指出,尽管起诉时机引发政治动机的质疑,但针对博尔顿的详细指控显示案件可能比其他案件更具实质性。

起诉书还披露,博尔顿的个人电子邮件遭到一名被认为与伊朗有关的网络攻击者入侵,该攻击者获取了他传输的机密信息。

若被定罪,博尔顿每项指控最高可判处10年监禁。此案由联邦调查局巴尔的摩分局调查,马里兰州美国检察官办公室及国家安全部反情报与出口管制科共同起诉。
