前国家安全局的约翰·博尔顿在联邦调查局突袭后可能因机密文件而面临刑事指控。 Former NSA John Bolton may face criminal charges over classified documents, following an FBI raid.

据两名联邦官员说,马里兰州美国检察官办公室预计将在下周尽早对前国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿提出刑事指控。 The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland is expected to file criminal charges against former National Security Adviser John Bolton as early as next week, according to two federal officials. 该案起源于联邦调查局8月份根据中央情报局提供的情报对博尔顿的住宅和办公室进行突袭,针对的是可能不当处理机密文件。 The case stems from an FBI raid in August on Bolton’s home and office, based on CIA-provided intelligence, targeting potential mishandling of classified documents. 检察官认为,尽管司法部和博尔顿的法律小组没有作出评论,但根据《间谍法》可能有足够的证据进行指控。 Prosecutors believe there is sufficient evidence for charges, possibly under the Espionage Act, though the Justice Department and Bolton’s legal team have not commented. 他的律师认为,这些材料是博尔顿在乔治·W·布什政府任职期间的材料,是按照政府的标准做法保存的。 His attorney argues the materials were from Bolton’s time in the George W. Bush administration and were kept per standard government practices. 这起案件将是继詹姆斯·科米和莱蒂亚·詹姆斯案之后,最近对一位特朗普评论家提起的第三次联邦起诉,尽管官员们说,这一指控似乎基于事实证据,而不是政治影响。 The case would be the third recent federal indictment of a Trump critic, following those of James Comey and Letitia James, though officials say this one appears grounded in factual evidence rather than political influence.
