一名美国政府承包商今天上午被联邦调查局（FBI）逮捕，据称该承包商向另一人泄露了国防信息，后者多次将机密信息发布到一家在线出版物上。
A U.S. government contractor was arrested by the FBI this morning for allegedly leaking national defense information to another individual who repeatedly posted classified information to an online publication.
“将国家防务信息定密，是为了保护美国人民免受世界各地意图伤害我们的恶意行为者的侵害，”司法部长托德·布兰奇表示。“宣誓书中指控的细节反映了一名政府承包商的行为，他将自己置于管辖机密保护的联邦法律之上。司法部将继续起诉泄露机密信息、使国家安全面临风险的个人。”
“National defense information is classified to protect the American people from bad actors around the world who wish to do us harm,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The details alleged in this affidavit reflect the behavior of a government contractor who exempted himself from a federal law governing the protection of classified information. The Department of Justice will continue prosecuting individuals who leak classified information and put our national security at risk.”
“联邦调查局在该主涉嫌背弃誓言、泄露机密防务信息后将其逮捕，”联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔表示。“保护美国的秘密是联邦调查局的首要反间谍任务——任何滥用政府信任职位、危害国家安全并让我们勇敢的战士处于险境的人，都将受到法律的严惩。”
“The FBI arrested the subject after he was caught allegedly betraying his oath and leaking classified defense information,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Protecting America’s secrets is a top counterintelligence priority of this FBI - and anyone caught abusing their position of trust within the government by jeopardizing national security and putting our brave warriors at risk will be met with the full weight of justice.”
“在该机构移交线索后，联邦调查局于10月23日星期五逮捕了一名为中央情报局提供服务的承包商，指控其涉嫌未经授权泄露机密信息，”中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫表示。“未经授权发布机密材料对我们的国家安全、情报来源、正在进行的行动以及我们的官员构成严重威胁。对泄密绝对零容忍，任何违背誓言的人都将被追责，并依法受到最严厉的起诉。”
“Following a referral from the Agency, on Friday, October 23rd, the FBI arrested a contractor who provided services to CIA for alleged unauthorized disclosures of classified information,” said CIA Director John Ratcliffe. “The unauthorized release of classified material poses grave risks to our national security, intelligence sources, ongoing operations, and our officers. There is absolutely zero tolerance for leaking, and anyone who violates their oath will be held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
“据指控，布林克斯曼远远超出自己的职责范围，获取了我国一些最机密的秘密，并将其交给了一名他明知打算公开这些信息的恋人，”国家安全助理司法部长约翰·A·艾森伯格表示。“这不是疏忽大意。这是对誓言的背叛，也是对委托他光荣履职的美国人民的背叛。获准掌握国家机密的人承担着保护这些信息的庄严义务。”
“As alleged, Brinksman reached far outside his own duties to obtain some of our Nation’s most closely held secrets and handed them to a romantic partner he knew intended to publish them,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “That is not carelessness. It is a betrayal of his oath and the American people who entrusted him to fulfill his duties honorably. Those cleared to hold our Nation's secrets undertake a solemn obligation to protect that information. If proven at trial, this conduct is a grave violation of the Espionage Act, and the National Security Division will prosecute it as such.”Ian A. Brinksman, 42, of the District of Columbia was arrested following a search of his residence and charged by criminal complaint with unlawfully transmitting national defense information.
如果在审判中被证实，这种行为严重违反了《间谍法》，国家安全司将按此起诉。”居住在哥伦比亚特区的伊恩·A·布林克斯曼（Ian A. Brinksman，42岁）在其住所被搜查后遭到逮捕，并根据刑事诉状被指控非法传输国防信息。
According to the criminal complaint, beginning in 2020, the defendant worked as an employee of a U.S. government agency based in the Eastern District of Virginia and later in 2022 began working as a developer for systems integration for “Company 1,” a contractor to the same U.S. government agency. During all times relevant to the complaint, Brinksman held a Top Secret security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access.
根据刑事诉状，被告从2020年开始在一家位于弗吉尼亚州东区的美国政府机构担任雇员，随后于2022年开始为“公司1”担任系统集成开发人员，该公司是同一美国政府机构的承包商。在与诉状相关的所有时间里，布林克斯曼持有绝密级安全许可，并拥有敏感隔室信息（SCI）访问权限。
As further detailed in the complaint, Brinksman had an ongoing personal relationship with an individual who maintains an online publication on Substack (Individual 1). A fundraising article reportedly published by Individual 1 in September 2026 claimed Individual 1 had “published reporting based on classified [relevant U.S. government agency] assessments.”Individual 1 posted on her social media profile, “I also accept leaks.”The FBI Chicago Field Office is investigating the case with substantial assistance from the Washington Field Office.
诉状进一步详述，布林克斯曼与一名在Substack上运营在线出版物的个人（个人1）保持着持续的私人关系。据报道，个人1于2026年9月发布的一篇筹款文章称，个人1“发表了基于机密[相关美国政府机构]评估的报道”。个人1在其社交媒体个人资料上发帖称，“我也接受泄密”。联邦调查局芝加哥分局正在调查此案，华盛顿分局提供了大量协助。
