特朗普计划解雇负责调查莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯的美国检察官
摘要
总统唐纳德·特朗普打算撤换美国检察官埃里克·西伯特，原因是其未对纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯提起指控，此举引发了对司法部政治干预的担忧。
据知情人士透露，总统唐纳德·特朗普计划解雇负责弗吉尼亚东区的美国检察官埃里克·西伯特，原因是其未对纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯提起指控。西伯特办公室曾调查针对詹姆斯的抵押贷款欺诈指控，但发现证据不足，无法继续起诉。
调查的焦点是詹姆斯被指控将弗吉尼亚的一处房产虚报为其主要住所，以获得优惠贷款条件。然而，检察官认定证据不足以支持刑事指控。
詹姆斯一直是特朗普的频繁批评者，曾领导针对他及其公司的民事欺诈案件。西伯特可能被解雇的消息引发了外界对政府干预司法部、利用司法部门打击政治对手的担忧。
西伯特是一名职业检察官，曾任警察，自2010年以来一直在弗吉尼亚东区工作。特朗普于五月提名他，自一月起担任临时美国检察官。
司法部和西伯特办公室均拒绝对此事发表评论。
