有关摘要:
总统特朗普昨日宣布,帕姆·邦迪将不再担任司法部长。她的离任源于白宫对她的领导方式以及处理已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关档案的方式感到不满。在一则社交媒体帖子中,总统称邦迪是“一位伟大的美国爱国者,也是忠诚的朋友”。邦迪担任该职位仅一年多。总统表示,副司法部长托德·布兰奇(特朗普的前私人律师)将担任代理司法部长。
白宫认为邦迪在处理与爱泼斯坦相关的执法档案时存在失误,NPR 的凯莉·约翰逊在 Up First 节目中报道。去年,邦迪在一次采访中声称,一份爱泼斯坦客户名单就在她的办公桌上。但司法部随后表示不存在这样的名单,引发了阴谋论。最终,司法部公开了一些档案,但议员们表示仍有大量信息被隐藏。特朗普也希望邦迪在起诉他不喜欢的人时更强硬。尽管她试图推动这些刑事案件,但法官和大陪审团似乎并不支持。约翰逊表示,可能缺乏足够证据来推进其中一些案件。
在邦迪担任司法部长期间,司法部出现了大规模人员流失。数百名检察官和 FBI 探员已经离职,重塑了整个机构。
President Trump announced yesterday that Pam Bondi is out as attorney general. Her exit comes amid frustration over her leadership and handling of files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a social media post, the president called Bondi "a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend." Bondi served in the role for a little more than a year. The president said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is Trump's former personal attorney, will serve as acting attorney general.
The White House believes Bondi mishandled law enforcement files related to Epstein, NPR's Carrie Johnson tells Up First. Last year, Bondi said in an interview that a list of Epstein's clients was on her desk. The Justice Department later said no such list existed, sparking conspiracy theories. Eventually, the department made some files public, but lawmakers say a lot of information remains hidden. Trump also wanted Bondi to be more aggressive in prosecuting people he dislikes. Even though she tried to advance those criminal cases, judges and grand juries didn't appear to support them. Johnson says there may have been a lack of evidence to execute some of these cases. During Bondi's time as attorney general, there was a massive exodus at the DOJ. Hundreds of prosecutors and FBI agents are now gone, reshaping the institution.
NPR 电台评论道,帕姆·邦迪充当特朗普总统的司法部长,为特朗普干了不少事情。但在爱泼斯坦案件上,她处理失当,引起特朗普的不满,最终离职。用 NPR 的话说,就是帕姆·邦迪对特朗普总统还不够忠诚 (She was not loyal enough to Trump)。
NPR 同时提到,爱泼斯坦案件还有3百多万份文件没有公开。帕姆·邦迪的司法部的借口是为了保护受害人。但数百名受害者的律师反驳了这种说辞,律师说受害者的身份早就被司法部曝光了,他们保护的是施害者。
