特朗普提名前律师林赛·哈利根出任弗吉尼亚东区联邦检察官

摘要

总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布拟提名前辩护律师、现任白宫工作人员林赛·哈利根,担任弗吉尼亚东区联邦检察官。

总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布拟提名前辩护律师、现任白宫工作人员林赛·哈利根,担任弗吉尼亚东区联邦检察官。哈利根此前曾在机密文件调查期间代表特朗普,目前在白宫工作人员秘书办公室工作。在其社交媒体平台的一系列帖子中,特朗普表示弗吉尼亚东区联邦检察官办公室需要一位“强硬的检察官”来“推动事情进展”。他强调需要一位不是“民主党支持的‘共和党人’”的检察官,并表达了对哈利根“公正、聪明,并将提供急需的全民正义”的信心。此宣布紧随前任办公室负责人埃里克·西伯特辞职之后,西伯特因特朗普政府官员施压要求对纽约州总检察长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯提起刑事诉讼而辞职。西伯特曾就詹姆斯涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈进行调查,但因证据不足未提出指控。哈利根持有佛罗里达州律师执照,无先前检察经验,曾在司法部调查特朗普处理机密材料期间加入其法律团队。最近,她在白宫职位上被特朗普指派负责应对政府所称史密森学会博物馆中的激进意识形态问题。特朗普称赞哈利根是“强硬、聪明且忠诚的律师”,曾与他密切合作,包括在调查其佛罗里达棕榈滩海湖庄园搜查事件期间。此次提名发生在特朗普对美国司法部长潘·邦迪对其政治对手调查进展缓慢表示不满之后,其中包括对詹姆斯涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈的调查。特朗普表示希望西伯特“离开”该职位,因为弗吉尼亚的两位民主党参议员支持他的提名。西伯特自特朗普就职以来一直担任临时联邦检察官,并于五月获得该职位提名。弗吉尼亚东区联邦检察官办公室的工作人员收到了一封来自玛吉·克莱瑞的电子邮件,她是最近加入司法部刑事司的一名官员,宣布她已被任命为该办公室的代理负责人。
