两名知情人士透露，两名前FBI官员因涉嫌在国会调查中撒谎而面临指控，该调查聚焦于FBI调查人员是否试图淡化拜登家族腐败指控以及亨特·拜登笔记本电脑的证据。华盛顿特区美国检察官办公室预计将于周五宣布这些指控。
Two former FBI officials are facing charges for allegedly lying to Congress as part of a probe that focused on whether FBI investigators sought to minimize allegations of Biden family corruption and evidence of Hunter Biden’s laptop, two people briefed on the investigation said. The Washington, DC, US Attorney’s office is expected to announce the charges Friday.
距离大选日不足两周之际，这些指控出台。拜登之子亨特最终因联邦税务和枪支指控被定罪，随后于2024年感恩节前后获其父特赦。
The charges come less than two weeks before Election Day. Biden’s son Hunter was ultimately convicted of federal tax and gun charges then pardoned by his father around Thanksgiving in 2024.
特朗普和共和党人指控拜登家族腐败，尤其是在国税局举报人声称FBI在乔·拜登担任总统期间拖延对亨特·拜登的调查后。
Trump and Republicans have accused the Bidens of corruption, especially after IRS whistleblowers claimed the FBI had slow-walked an investigation into Hunter Biden while President Joe Biden was in office.
一名特别检察官彻底调查了共和党人对亨特·拜登的指控，并未建议在枪支和税务指控之外追加任何指控。该特别检察官大卫·韦斯另行起诉了一名政府线人，指控其提供虚假信息诬告拜登家族受贿。
A special counsel thoroughly investigated the Republicans’ allegations against Hunter Biden and didn’t recommend any additional charges past the gun and tax charges. A separate government informant was charged by that special counsel, David Weiss, for providing false information alleging bribery in the Biden family.
