美国一名联邦法官周四驳回了针对前美国奥运选手戴维·赫恩的指控，且裁定不得再审，援引总统唐纳德·特朗普的言论以确保未来无法再次提起诉讼。赫恩最初被指控在林肯纪念堂的倒影池实施破坏。
法官认定，特朗普向相关方施压，对赫恩提起毫无依据的报复性诉讼的威胁，赫恩因此面临风险。特朗普此前曾淡化显示损坏是在翻新过程中造成的相关证据。
“在对赫恩先生提起公诉时，政府先开枪再问话，”托德·埃德尔曼法官写道，“大陪审团程序丝毫无法阻止政府屈服于总统的压力，再次做出这种行为。”
在发现有关损坏的新证据后，美国司法部提出撤案，但不愿放弃日后如有新证据可再次提起指控的权利。

“尽管政府希望保留日后收集到足以支持起诉的证据的可能性，”埃德尔曼写道，“但政府自身的表述清楚表明，这种可能性充其量只是理论上的，更准确地说，纯属空想。”法官指出，特朗普此前已公开嘲讽华盛顿特区联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗的办公室撤案决定，并“公开暗示可能因此解雇皮罗”。
埃德尔曼还批评检察官当初提起诉讼的行为，辩称政府在这一过程中放弃了自身职责，并再次提及特朗普施加的压力。
“尽管负责此案的检察官认为本案毫无依据，但美国总统多次诋毁他们，并施压要求他们改变办案方向，”法官写道。
赫恩的代表周四在一份声明中表示，这一判决“是法治的胜利，也是一位寻求正义的无辜美国人的胜利”。

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed charges against David Hearn, the former US Olympian initially accused of damaging the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial with prejudice, citing President Donald Trump’s comments to ensure charges cannot be brought in the future.
The judge found Hearn faced threats of a meritless reprisal of the case through pressure from Trump, who has downplayed documentation showing damage was caused during renovations.
“In securing the Indictment against Mr. Hearn, the government shot first and asked questions later,” Judge Todd Edelman wrote. “Nothing about the grand jury process would prevent it from giving in to the President’s pressure and doing so again.”
The Justice Department moved to drop the case after the new evidence about the damage was discovered, but did not want to give up the option to charge the case again if new evidence came to light.

“While the government wishes to hold open the possibility of the development of evidence that would support a future prosecution,” Edelman wrote, “its own representations make plain that such a possibility is theoretical at best, and more likely, is simply fanciful.” The judge noted how Trump has already publicly ridiculed the decision by DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office to dismiss the charges and “publicly entertained the possibility of firing (Pirro) as a result of the dismissal.”
Edelman also criticized prosecutors for ever bringing the case forward, arguing that the government abdicated its role in the process, pointing again to pressure from Trump.
“Although the prosecutors assigned to this case have deemed it meritless, the President of the United States has repeatedly disparaged them and pressured them to change course,” the judge wrote.
Representatives of Hearn said in a statement on Thursday that the decision “is a victory for the rule of law and for an innocent American seeking justice.”
CNN has reached out to Pirro’s office for comment.
