据美国政客新闻网剧本(POLITICO Playbook)2020年5月14日 17:56PM（北京时间）文章称：

警笛……在夜间爆响……《洛杉矶时报》的戴尔·昆廷·威尔伯和詹·哈伯肯报道：“美国联邦调查局对参议员就与冠状病毒有关的股票销售进行调查发出了搜查令。”

SIREN … BREAKING OVERNIGHT … L.A. TIMES: “FBI serves warrant on senator in investigation of stock sales linked to coronavirus.” by Del Quentin Wilbur and Jen Haberkorn:

一位执法官员说，联邦探员周三晚间查获了一位知名共和党参议员的手机，这是美国司法部对他在新型冠状病毒首次袭击美国时进行的有争议的股票交易进行调查的一部分。

Federal agents seized a cellphone belonging to a prominent Republican senator on Wednesday night as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into controversial stock trades he made as the novel coronavirus first struck the U.S., a law enforcement official said.

美国国会参议院情报委员会(Senate Intelligence Committee)主席、北卡罗来纳州参议员理查德·伯尔(Richard Burr)在特工向这位议员（即理查德·伯尔）在华盛顿地区的住所发出搜查令后，伯尔把自己的电话交给了特工。一位官员说，因为讨论一项执法行动，这位官员要求匿名。…...

Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, turned over his phone to agents after they served a search warrant on the lawmaker at his residence in the Washington area, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a law enforcement action. …

这样的逮捕令送达在任参议员需要得到美国司法部最高层的批准，这是一个不容小觑的步骤。美国司法部发言人克里·库佩克(Kerri Kupec)拒绝置评。

Such a warrant being served on a sitting U.S. senator would require approval from the highest ranks of the Justice Department and is a step that would not be taken lightly. Kerri Kupec, a Justice Department spokeswoman, declined to comment.

另一名执法官员说，联邦调查局(FBI)特工近日向苹果公司(Apple)发出了一个搜查令，要求从伯尔的iCloud账户获取信息，并说特工使用了从这家总部位于加州的公司获得的数据作为证据的一部分，用来为这位参议员的手机获得搜查令。

A second law enforcement official said FBI agents served a warrant in recent days on Apple to obtain information from Burr’s iCloud account and said agents used data obtained from the California-based company as part of the evidence used to obtain the warrant for the senator’s phone.

在这之后，很难想象伯尔如何能继续担任参议院情报委员会主席。

IT’S TOUGH TO SEE HOW BURR can stay as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee after this.
