华盛顿，8月5日（路透社）——当地时间周三，唐纳德·特朗普提名的司法部长人选托德·布兰奇的参议院确认程序再次出现不确定性。此前共和党议员苏珊·柯林斯于周二宣布将投票反对布兰奇，令这位前特朗普私人律师的提名已无多少犯错空间。
由于共和党议员米奇·麦康奈尔无限期缺席，布兰奇仅能接受再出现一名共和党议员倒戈的局面。此前已对其提名表示保留意见的议员比尔·卡西迪与丽莎·穆尔科斯基，周三拒绝就投票意向置评。另有少数几名议员也对布兰奇的提名表达了担忧。

目前担任代理司法部长的布兰奇，通过书面承诺两件事，争取到了共和党持异议议员约翰·科宁和汤姆·蒂利斯的支持：一是特朗普提出的18亿美元“反武器化”基金已彻底作废，二是相关的税收豁免协议仅适用于过往纳税申报单。这两项承诺均源自特朗普针对美国国税局的100亿美元诉讼和解方案。
目前仍存在疑问：该基金后续是否有可能恢复运作，以及为何总统能从其本人领导的政府手中获得可能为其个人节省数百万美元的协议。
参议院共和党领袖约翰·图恩表示，他希望在参议院于本周开始为期一个月的休会前完成布兰奇的确认程序。投票可能在数日内举行。

“我们正在与相关人士沟通，也就是那些尚未拿定主意的少数议员，我希望我们能争取到足够的支持票，”图恩周三对记者表示，“但再次重申，这项工作仍在推进中，我们还没有达成目标。”
美国司法部发言人未立即回应置评请求。

WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche, faced renewed uncertainty over his U.S. Senate confirmation on Wednesday after Republican Senator Susan Collins said on Tuesday she would vote against him, leaving the former Trump personal lawyer with little margin for error.
With Republican Senator Mitch McConnell out indefinitely, Blanche can afford only one more Republican defection. Senators Bill Cassidy and Lisa Murkowski, who previously expressed reservations about his nomination, declined to comment on their vote on Wednesday. A small number of other senators have also expressed concern about Blanche’s nomination.

Blanche, now serving as acting attorney general, persuaded Republican holdouts John Cornyn and Thom Tillis to support him by pledging in writing that Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund was dead and that a related tax-immunity deal applied only to past tax returns. Both arose from a settlement of Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS.
Questions remain about whether the fund could later be revived and why the president deserves a deal from his own administration that could personally save him millions of dollars
Senate Republican Leader John Thune said he wants to confirm Blanche before the chamber leaves Washington for a month-long recess scheduled to begin this week. A vote could come in a matter of days.

“We’re having conversations with folks, the small number of people who will be undecided in this, and I’m hopeful we’ll get there,” Thune told reporters on Wednesday. “But again, it’s a work in progress, and we’re not there yet.”
A Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
