周三,联邦调查局发言人猛烈抨击媒体称,该局近期一系列解雇事件对其伊朗相关工作造成了损害,指责这些报道消息来源不可靠且是”彻头彻尾的胡说八道”。
联邦调查局公共事务助理主任本·威廉姆森在社交媒体上严厉谴责了哥伦比亚广播公司新闻(CBS News)和MS Now,此前这两家媒体报道称,联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔最近解雇了约12名员工,原因是他们涉嫌违反职业道德和该局使命,引发了人们对伊朗项目受损的担忧。
发言人指责媒体试图煽动民众担忧,称在唐纳德·特朗普总统周六对伊朗发动战争后,这个国家最重要的联邦执法机构似乎无力应对伊朗对美国构成的威胁。

“我也可以玩‘消息来源’的游戏——区别在于我的消息来源知道自己在说什么,”威廉姆森写道,他表示自己与多名联邦调查局高管和主管交谈过,他们证实”在被解雇的人员中,只有3人从事伊朗相关事务”。

An FBI spokesman tore into the media on Wednesday for claiming a string of recent firings at the bureau were detrimental to its work on Iran, alleging the reports were poorly sourced and “total BS.”
Ben Williamson, FBI assistant director of public affairs, excoriated CBS News and MS Now on social media after their reporting raised alarm about FBI Director Kash Patel’s recent decision to fire about a dozen employees for allegedly violating their ethics and the bureau’s mission.
The spokesman accused the media of attempting to stir up worries that the nation’s premier federal law enforcement agency was ill-prepared to combat threats Iran posed to the United States in the wake of President Donald Trump launching a war against the country on Saturday.

“I can play the ‘sources’ game too – the difference is mine know what they’re talking about,” Williamson wrote, saying he spoke with several FBI executives and supervisors who confirmed that “only 3” of those fired worked on Iran matters.
