华盛顿9月16日电（路透社）——美国参议院商务委员会周三通过一项法案，禁止政府官员向私营企业施压要求其审查言论，此举针对的是唐纳德·特朗普政府时期对深夜脱口秀节目发出的威胁。
该委员会资深民主党议员玛丽亚·坎特韦尔表示，如果这项法案当时已经生效，迪士尼旗下美国广播公司的深夜脱口秀主持人吉米·坎摩尔便可提起诉讼。此前美国联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔去年曾施压电视台停播坎摩尔的节目，原因是后者发表了关于保守活动家查理·柯克遇刺事件的言论。

WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee approved legislation Wednesday to bar government officials from pressuring private companies to censor speech, citing threats by President Donald Trump’s administration to late-night talk shows.
Senator Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the panel, said the bill, if it had been in effect, would have allowed Disney-owned ABC’s late night show host Jimmy Kimmel to file suit after Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr last year pressured station owners to stop airing Kimmel’s show following remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
