华盛顿，7月31日（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五为其提议的“反武器化”基金辩护，目前他与参议院共和党同僚陷入僵局，导致他提名代理美国司法部长托德·布兰奇正式就任该职位的进程停滞。
“托德·布兰奇是个好人，应该立即获得批准担任美国司法部长，”特朗普在社交媒体发帖称。此前一天，他威胁要将提名推迟至明年，在两名关键反对的参议员离任后。

他还继续为该基金辩护，写道：“我始终认为，这些政府滥用权力的受害者应该为他们被迫承受的一切得到赔偿，他们的人生已经被毁了！”
共和党参议员约翰·康尼和汤姆·蒂利斯搁置了布兰奇的提名，同时要求获得书面保证，确保司法部不会设立这项18亿美元的“反武器化”计划。特朗普的批评者嘲讽该基金是用纳税人的钱奖励支持者的贿赂基金。
据一位不愿透露姓名的知情人士透露，这两名参议员的任期将于明年1月初结束，他们在周四下午与布兰奇会面后，已接近达成协议。

布兰奇还会见了共和党参议员约翰·柯蒂斯。
尽管存在争议，但布兰奇可能无需经过确认就能以代理身份有效履行司法部长职责，直至特朗普剩余的白宫任期结束。根据规定，代理官员可在提名悬而未决且未被正式否决或撤回的情况下履职。
“反武器化”基金是特朗普与司法部达成的法律和解协议的一部分，用以解决他针对美国国税局提起的100亿美元诉讼，该诉讼指控国税局不当处理其税务记录，但该基金因国会共和党人的反对而暂停。
该基金可能惠及特朗普的盟友，这些盟友称，2020年特朗普连任失利后，他们因参与2021年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件而遭到联邦政府的不公平 targeting。

康尼周四表示，他正在等待司法部正式作出不会实施该基金的保证。康尼和蒂利斯还反对一项防止国税局审计特朗普及其盟友的IRS协议。
特朗普周五在帖子中也以现在时提及该基金，写道该基金“不会让我受益，而是惠及那些被像狗一样追捕、人生被不公平且非法摧毁的伟大美国爱国者”。

WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday defended his proposed “anti-weaponization” fund amid a standoff with fellow Republicans in the Senate that has stalled his bid to get acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche in the role permanently.
“Todd Blanche, a good man, should be immediately approved as U.S. Attorney General,” Trump wrote in a social media post, one day after threatening to withdraw the nomination until next year after two key opposing senators leave office.

He also continued to defend the fund, writing: “I will always feel that these victims of government abuse should be paid back for what they were forced to endure, their lives have been ruined!”
Republican Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis have held up Blanche’s nomination while seeking written assurances that the Justice Department will not set up the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” program. Trump critics have derided it as a slush fund to reward supporters with taxpayer money.
The two lawmakers, whose Senate terms end in early January, were closer to an agreement after meeting with Blanche late Thursday afternoon, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Blanche has also met with Republican Senator John Curtis.
Despite the dispute, Blanche likely does not need to be confirmed to effectively serve as attorney general for Trump’s remaining term in the White House, given that acting officials can serve as long as their nomination is pending in the Senate and their nomination is not formally rejected or withdrawn.
The “anti-weaponization” fund was crafted as part of a legal settlement between Trump and the Justice Department to resolve his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over allegedly mishandling his tax records, but it was put on hold amid opposition from congressional Republicans.
The fund could benefit Trump allies who have said they were unfairly targeted by the federal government for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol after Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020.

Cornyn on Thursday said he was waiting for the Justice Department to formalize assurances that it would not implement the fund. Cornyn and Tillis also object to an IRS deal that would prevent tax audits of Trump and his associates.
Trump, in his post on Friday, also referred to the fund in present tense, writing that it “will not benefit me, but rather the great American Patriots who were hunted down like dogs and whose lives were unfairly and illegally destroyed.”
