特朗普总统提名林赛·哈利根为弗吉尼亚东区美国检察官

摘要

在埃里克·西伯特因政治压力辞职后,特朗普总统提名林赛·哈利根担任弗吉尼亚东区美国检察官。

特朗普总统宣布提名白宫高级助理林赛·哈利根担任弗吉尼亚东区美国检察官。这一任命是在埃里克·西伯特辞职之后作出的,西伯特因其处理政治人物调查的方式受到政府压力而辞职。

特朗普在社交媒体上表示,哈利根“将公正、聪明,并将提供急需的全民正义!”哈利根曾是特朗普法律团队的一员,参与了联邦调查局对棕榈滩海湖庄园机密文件调查的早期阶段。

西伯特辞职的原因是在一起针对纽约总检察长莱蒂蒂娅·詹姆斯的抵押贷款欺诈调查中拒绝提出指控。司法部曾调查与詹姆斯名下房产相关的指控,但发现证据不足以起诉。詹姆斯的律师否认这些指控,称调查具有政治动机。

在哈利根被提名之前,玛丽“玛吉”克莱里被任命为该区代理美国检察官。克莱里是一名保守派律师,她向工作人员通报了自己意外的任命,并表示谦逊地加入该办公室。

弗吉尼亚东区一直是政治和法律紧张局势的中心,政府的行动因可能影响检察决定而受到审查。
