当地时间9日，美国《政客》网站发文，详细报道了这名网友“潜入”白宫记者团的经过。报道称，一名“网络玩家”假扮白宫记者，并且成功的把自己准备好的问题抛给了白宫发言人普萨基。

An online gamer successfully pretended to be a White House reporter and even managed to pose questions to President Biden's press secretary, according to a new report. 

《政客》网站：网络玩家是如何潜入白宫记者团的 
“凯西·蒙塔古”假冒自己是虚构媒体“白宫新闻”的记者，此举不仅戏弄了真正的白宫记者，甚至戏弄了新上任的拜登政府。



此人化名“凯西•乐高•蒙塔古”， 谎称自己是是白宫记者协会的成员，来自名为“白宫新闻”的媒体，当然这个媒体也是其虚构的。“蒙塔古” 骗取真正的白宫记者在新闻发布会上至少4次替自己向普萨基提问。

A person who created an online profile as "Kacey 'Lego' Montagu" and presented herself as a correspondent for the fictitious "White House News" duped legitimate members of the White House press corps into asking her questions at briefings at least four times, according to a report from Politico.

据《政客》报道，这名网友在游戏平台ROBLOX上相当活跃，平台玩家都戏称自己为 “乐高”。该网友没有透露自己的真实身份，但是却表达了对于真正白宫记者提问的不满。

The imposter is believed to be active in the online global gaming platform called ROBLOX, where users jokingly call themselves "Legos." The person didn't reveal his or her true identity when reached by Politico but expressed frustration with how the real press is asking questions.

“我喜欢新闻工作，但是我认为目前记者团做得很差，我希望这个环节更透明，就问了几个我和朋友们希望得到答案的问题。”

"I love journalism, and I think the press corps is doing a pretty bad job at the moment, so I decided I would ensure some transparency and ask some questions me and some friends wanted the answer to," Montagu told the outlet.

福克斯新闻网在报道这一事件时，称该网友问“冒充者（imposter）”。

为了以假乱真，“蒙塔古”还开了两个推特账号，一些白宫高层和记者等人都关注了其账号。而在和其他记者沟通时，“蒙塔古”还声称自己是英国《每日邮报》的记者，是“白宫记者协会”的一员。当然，“蒙塔古”根本没加入过这两个组织。除了与记者们时不时地沟通，“蒙塔古”甚至还和白宫官员有过几次交流。不过，《政客》报道也指出，“蒙塔古”在前期做了一些操作，包括注册相关账号等，还是比较复杂的。

Montagu started two real-life Twitter handles, which are followed by some top White House officials and journalists. In communications with confidants, Montagu has posed as a member of White House Correspondents Association, claiming to be a reporter for The Daily Mail, the British tabloid known for its gossipy coverage of celebrities and political figures. But Montagu never joined WHCA and The Daily Mail. Montagu also communicates regularly with top White House reporters and has had several exchanges with White House officials. There is a level of sophistication to how Montagu operates.

目前，这两个推特账号已被平台注销处理。



  
据福克斯新闻网报道，只有具备相关资格的记者，才能进入白宫发布会。由于疫情的影响，为保证社交距离，发布会记者的数量进一步压缩。在这种情形下，现场记者代替其他未到场记者向发言人提问的情形就变得很普遍了。

Access to the White House press briefing room is limited to credentialed reporters. Capacity at the daily briefings has been further restricted during the coronavirus pandemic due to social distancing guidelines. So, it's been fairly common for reporters to ask additional questions to Press Secretary Jen Psaki on behalf of fellow journalists who couldn't attend the briefing due to coronavirus restrictions.

“蒙塔古”联系了几位有资质的记者，帮助其转达问题。问题包括疫情下的旅游禁令，外交大使，拜登对于微软被骇客攻击的回应以及拜登和奥巴马的关系等。

Montagu contacted credentialed press to pose her questions in the briefing room. Questions were on Covid-19 travel bans, ambassadorships, Biden’s reaction to Microsoft being hacked and most recently about Biden's relationship with former President Barack Obama.

此外，“蒙塔古”还提了一个有关拜登政府透明度的问题，不过拿到问题的记者却没有做出提问。

Another question "Montagu" wanted asked was about transparency in the Biden administration. That question was never posed by the reporter who received the request.

白宫记者协会负责安排白宫发布会的座次、准入等工作，是一个会员制组织。目前，该组织尚未对“假记者”一事做出回应。

The White House Correspondents' Association is in charge of seating and access to the White House briefing room and workspaces. The members-only group did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment about the fake reporter.
