FBI 否认了媒体关于局长卡什·帕特尔前往俄罗斯的报道。此前，MS Now 报道称帕特尔在关键中期选举前几周已抵达俄罗斯，参加预定会议。FBI 坚称帕特尔当时正在弗吉尼亚大学参加活动。“卡什·帕特尔实际上在这里……自由大学，正在参加执法感恩活动，”他们在 X 上表示，否认了该报道。周三，ABC 附属台在 YouTube 上发布的视频也显示，帕特尔在弗吉尼亚州林奇堡自由大学法学院的一个小组讨论中发言。
The FBI denied a media report of director Kash Patel traveling to Russia. This came as MS Now reported Patel had landed in Russia for a scheduled meeting weeks before the crucial midterm elections. The bureau insisted that Patel was at a University of Virginia event. “Here's where Kash Patel actually is...Liberty U, doing a law enforcement appreciation event,” they said on X, denying the report. Video on YouTube on Wednesday from an ABC affiliate also showed Patel speaking on a panel at the Liberty University School of Law in Lynchburg, Virginia.
卡什·帕特尔对该报道的回应帕特尔在两条 X 帖子中驳斥了该报道。“MS Now 刚刚报道我说我‘抵达俄罗斯’与 FSB 会面。该媒体一直在编造关于 FBI 及执法部门在保护美国人民方面历史性成就的谎言。事实胜于雄辩：• 53,969+ 起暴力犯罪逮捕（增长 90%）• 全国谋杀率下降近 20%• 31,016+ 名暴力罪犯和帮派成员被捕（增长 30%）• FBI 十大通缉要犯中有 10 人被抓获（是前四年总和的 2.5 倍）• 11,081+ 名儿童受害者被定位并确认（增长 21%）• 3,258+ 公斤芬太尼被查获（增长 8%）——足以毒死 2.47 亿以上美国人这绝非偶然。这是 FBI 及我们所有州、地方和部落伙伴不懈努力的结果。他们欠 FBI、执法部门的男女同仁以及美国人民一个道歉，”他在一条帖子中写道。
What Kash Patel said about reportPatel spoke against the report on two X posts. "MS NOW just reported I had “landed in Russia” for meetings with the FSB. The same outlet constantly tells lies about this FBI and law enforcement’s historic achievements in safeguarding the American people. The results speak for themselves:• 53,969+ violent crime arrests (up 90%)• Nearly 20% decrease in the nationwide murder rate• 31,016+ violent criminals and gang members arrested (up 30%)• 10 of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted fugitives captured (2.5× the prior four years)• 11,081+ child victims located and identified (up 21%)• 3,258+ kilos of fentanyl seized (up 8%) — enough to kill 247+ million AmericansThis is no accident.
在另一条帖子中，帕特尔调皮地补充道：“来自俄罗斯，带着爱……”。美国被指控帮助俄罗斯对抗乌克兰帕特尔据称访问俄罗斯的争议正值乌克兰官员指责美国正在帮助俄罗斯之时。
It is due to the relentless work of this FBI and all of our state, local, and tribal partners. They owe an apology to this FBI, the men and women of law enforcement, and to the American people," he wrote in one.
他们的指控是在有报道称星链服务受限、导弹袭击基辅的背景下提出的。就在几天前，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，他的俄罗斯对手弗拉基米尔·普京希望就乌克兰战争达成协议，并指责弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基抵制妥协。
In the other, Patel playfully added “From Russia, with Love…”.US accused of helping Russia against UkraineThe most recent row over Patel's reported Russia visit comes at the same time as Ukrainian officials have accused the US of helping Russia. Their allegations came amid reported Starlink curbs and missiles being fired upon Kyiv.
“美国在帮助俄罗斯”：乌克兰在有报道称星链服务受限、导弹袭击基辅的背景下提出指控。
Days before this, US President Donald Trump said that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin wanted to reach a deal on the Ukraine war, and accused Volodymyr Zelenskyy of resisting a compromise.'US helping Russia': Ukraine levels accusations amid reported Starlink curbs, missile strikes on KyivTrump has repeatedly lashed out at Zelensky, a major pro-Western leader in Europe, even saying he should be replaced as president.
特朗普多次抨击泽连斯基，这位欧洲主要的亲西方领导人，甚至表示他应该被取代总统职务。上周，特朗普达成协议，计划购买受严厉制裁的俄罗斯柴油，这激怒了欧洲盟友，目的在于降低国内燃油价格——这一问题一直是11月3日中期选举前的关键议题。多名共和党和民主党参议员敦促特朗普取消该协议，称其为对乌克兰的背叛。他们还担心美国的采购将为莫斯科的战争努力提供资金。
Last week, Trump made deal to buy heavily sanctioned Russia diesel, angering European allies, all in a bid to lower domestic fuel prices, which has been a key issue ahead of the November 3 midterms. Several Republican and Democratic senators have urged Trump to scrap that deal, and called it a betrayal of Ukraine. They are also fearful that US purchases will bankroll Moscow's war effort.
自《政治》杂志7月报道称FBI局长计划前往俄罗斯，可能在10月中旬以来，关于帕特尔前往莫斯科的猜测一直在流传。上周，《大西洋月刊》报道称，FBI内部正在开展一项安静的运动，两名资深众议院民主党人反对取消该行程。
Speculations about Patel traveling to Moscow have been doing the rounds since Politico reported in July that the FBI director planned to go to Russia, likely in mid-October. Last week, The Atlantic reported on a quiet campaign at the FBI, and opposition from two senior House Democrats, to cancel the trip.
8月，中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫对莫斯科进行了罕见的访问，据称这是为了警告俄罗斯不要对北约发动任何攻击。
In August, CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a highly unusual visit to Moscow, which was apparently to warn Russia against any attack on NATO.
