美国司法部周四起诉一名退伍军人,指控其在两个月内多次向白宫高级顾问斯蒂芬·米勒的妻子、保守派播客凯蒂·米勒及其家人发送大量令人不安的短信和拨打骚扰电话。

这名来自马萨诸塞州、现年41岁的男子名为约翰·安东尼·普罗亚三世,被控一项网络跟踪罪。他将于周四首次出庭受审。

检察官指控,普罗亚在两个月内多次拨打某“共和党知名人士”的电话,次数超过40次。一位了解案情的消息人士确认,受害者正是凯蒂·米勒。

据称,普罗亚不分昼夜联系凯蒂·米勒,发送的信息有时露骨且带有威胁性。

他还被指联系了米勒的父母,并在一条信息中写道:“我的天,你们怎么会为这种垃圾感到骄傲?”

在另一条信息中,普罗亚据称写道:“嗨(受害者1父亲的名字),近况如何?希望你女儿嫁给一个犹太纳粹/白人至上主义者的日子过得还不错,还有(受害者1母亲的名字)。你是把她教成了垃圾,还是天生就这样?”

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)获悉,这起起诉的调查过程曾遭遇美国联邦调查局(FBI)内部阻力。消息人士称,FBI华盛顿分局的一个反恐小组最初认定此事不值得进一步调查。不过调查仍在推进,两名高级探员被调离岗位。

波士顿的调查人员也曾对追查此案表示保留意见。

法庭文件指控普罗亚在网上煽动他人向政府官员拨打类似骚扰电话。检察官援引的一条帖子中,他写道,一个在线名录账号“能让你轻松找到电话号码和地址,这样你就可以在深夜叫醒别人,告诉他们你的想法”。

“从合法用途来说,这是有教育意义的,”他补充道,根据文件内容。

在另一条帖子中,普罗亚据称写道,某位未具名内阁官员的妻子“真的很讨厌你打恶作剧电话,告诉她他经常吸食可卡因”。

在起诉消息公布后,凯蒂·米勒在X平台上发文感谢司法部长托德·布兰奇、马萨诸塞州联邦检察官莉亚·福利以及FBI华盛顿分局。

CNN已联系普罗亚的律师置评。

The Justice Department charged a military veteran Thursday for allegedly making dozens of disturbing texts and calls to Katie Miller, a conservative podcaster married to White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, and her family.

The man, 41-year-old John Anthony Proia III of Massachusetts, has been charged with one count of cyberstalking. He will make his initial appearance in court Thursday.

Prosecutors allege that Proia used a series of phone calls to reach a “prominent member of the Republican Party” more than 40 times in a two-month period. A source familiar with the case identified the victim as Katie Miller.

Proia allegedly contacted Katie Miller at all hours, sending messages that were at times graphic and threatening.

He also allegedly contacted her parents, saying in one message: “My God, how can you be proud of this filth?”

In another, Proia allegedly said: “Hey (first name of Victim 1’s father), how goes it? Hope your daughter marrying a Jewish Nazi/white supremacist is working out for you and (first name of Victim 1’s mother). Did you raise her to be trash or did that just happen naturally?”

The charges followed an investigation that faced resistance within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, CNN reported. An FBI counterterrorism team in Washington initially determined that the matter did not warrant an further investigation, sources said. The investigation continued, however, and two senior agents were removed from their positions.

Investigators in Boston had also expressed reservations about pursuing the case.

Court documents accuse Proia of encouraging others online to place similar calls to government officials. In one post cited by prosecutors, he wrote that a online directory account “allows great latitude in finding phone numbers and addresses so you can wake folks up late at night and tell them how you feel.”

“For lawful purposes, this is educational,” he added, according to the documents.

In another post, Proia allegedly wrote that the wife of an unnamed cabinet official “really doesn’t like it when you prank call and tell her that he does a lot of cocaine.”

In a post on X after the charge was announced, Katie Miller thanked Attorney General Todd Blanche, Massachusetts US Attorney Leah Foley, and the FBI’s Washington Field Office.

CNN has reached out to Proia’s attorney for comment.
