The White House says President Obama will go ahead with the nomination of General John Allen as the new Supreme Nato Commander in Europe after a Pentagon investigation cleared him of possible misconduct in a series of email exchanges described as flirtatious with the Florida socialite Jill Kelley. The messages by General Allen came to light while the FBI were investigating threatening emails being sent to Mrs Kelley by her former lover of the then CIA director David Petraeus.
白宫称，此前总统奥巴马有意任命约翰?艾伦将军担任北约驻欧洲新的最高指挥，后来据说他与佛罗里达社交花吉尔?凯利有染，在多次邮件联系可能存在不当行为，后经国防部调查，证明了他的清白，目前白宫称奥巴马将仍旧任命艾伦将军该职务。此前，FBI调查凯利旧情人中情局局长大卫?彼得雷乌斯发给她的威胁邮件，艾伦将军的信件也由此曝光。
