  • 摘要
  • 共和党议员 likely 指控史密斯滥用职权,在针对特朗普的调查中 targeting 保守派人士
  • 史密斯称调查遵循司法部政策,未受政治因素影响
  • 乔丹因史密斯获取议员通话记录一事将其移交司法部

华盛顿9月29日(路透社)——美国前特别检察官杰克·史密斯将于周二出席参议院司法委员会听证会,就其此前对总统唐纳德·特朗普的调查接受质询,与此同时司法部正加强对其工作的审查。

共和党议员此前多次抨击史密斯,认为其针对特朗普及其盟友的起诉带有报复性政治动机,他们很可能会在听证会上指控史密斯滥用职权,在调查中 targeting 保守派人士。

“杰克·史密斯必须为他对数百个共和党团体和个人的所作所为负责,”司法委员会主席查克·格拉斯利在一份声明中表示。

据路透社获得的史密斯开场发言稿副本显示,史密斯计划向参议员们重申他对起诉特朗普的立场,并指责特朗普政府诋毁他及其团队前成员。

“我不会被总统或其他人持续发出的起诉威胁所压制,”史密斯计划对议员们如是说。

民主党议员则可能会为史密斯的调查辩护,称其旨在让特朗普及其他人对违法行为负责,并认为共和党才是试图为特朗普实施报复性司法的一方。

史密斯曾就特朗普涉嫌试图推翻2020年大选结果以及其首任任期后不当处理机密文件两项罪名对特朗普提起刑事诉讼,他一直为自己的办案记录辩护。在法庭文件和公开证词中,史密斯均表示其调查遵循司法部政策,未受政治因素影响。他一直是特朗普的主要攻击目标,后者曾呼吁对史密斯提起公诉。

此次听证会主题为“审查杰克·史密斯的滥用职权行为以及针对共和党人的 targeting 及相关事项”,是史密斯首次出席参议院委员会听证会。

史密斯获取通话记录

共和党要求史密斯为其 alleged 滥用职权行为负责的行动在过去一年有所升级,尽管目前尚未对史密斯提起任何指控。去年12月,史密斯在共和党主导的众议院委员会进行闭门证词时表示,若没有特朗普,2021年1月6日的国会山骚乱“不会发生”。随后在今年1月,史密斯就同一主题在该委员会进行了公开证词。

共和党对史密斯的大量批评集中在其调查团队获取的国会议员相关记录上。史密斯在国会山骚乱前后获取了多名共和党参议员的通话日志。今年7月,共和党参议员披露,史密斯还在审查白宫助手相关材料的过程中,查阅了44名美国议员的短信记录。

此后不久,众议院司法委员会共和党主席吉姆·乔丹将史密斯移交司法部,声称史密斯在就这些通话记录的性质向该委员会作证时作出了虚假陈述。

当时的问题具体涉及议员的通话详单,这类记录不包含任何通话内容。

史密斯的律师表示,史密斯在证词中提供了真实信息,且无需透露议员未询问过的内容。史密斯曾表示,获取议员通话记录是调查特朗普施压活动、阻止选举结果认证所必需的。

特朗普领导的司法部也正在审查史密斯针对特朗普留存机密文件的调查,作为一项更大规模调查的一部分,该调查旨在认定特朗普的权利遭到了侵犯。

近期几周,曾参与2022年对特朗普海湖庄园搜查行动的多名前联邦调查局官员被要求在该调查中作证,该搜查行动早于史密斯被任命为特别检察官的时间。

  • Summary
  • Republicans likely to allege Smith abused authority and targeted conservatives in Trump investigations
  • Smith says investigations followed Justice Department policy and were not influenced by politics
  • Jordan referred Smith to Justice Department over use of lawmakers’ phone records

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Former US special counsel Jack ​Smith will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, fielding questions about his past investigations into President Donald Trump as ‌the Justice Department ramps up scrutiny of his work.

Republican lawmakers, who have repeatedly blasted Smith for what they see as vindictive, politically driven prosecutions of Trump and his allies, will likely allege Smith abused his authority and targeted conservatives in his investigations.

“Jack Smith must answer for what he did to hundreds of Republican groups and individuals,” Judiciary ​chair Chuck Grassley said in a statement.

Smith plans to tell senators that he stands by his prosecutions of Trump and will accuse ​the Trump administration of vilifying him and former members of his team, according to a copy of his opening ⁠statement seen by Reuters.

“I will not be silenced by the continued threats of prosecution from the president or others,” Smith plans to tell lawmakers.

Democrats ​will likely defend Smith’s investigations as holding Trump and others accountable for unlawful actions and argue Republicans are the ones trying to carry out vindictive ​justice on behalf of Trump.

Smith, who brought two criminal cases against Trump over his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his alleged mishandling of classified documents after his first term, has defended his record. In court filings and public testimony, Smith has said his investigations followed Justice Department policy and were not influenced by politics. ​He has been the constant target of Trump, who has called for Smith’s prosecution.

Tuesday’s hearing, titled “Oversight of Jack Smith’s Abuse of Authority and the ​Targeting of Republicans and Related Matters,” is Smith’s first appearance before a Senate panel.

SMITH OBTAINED PHONE RECORDS

Republican efforts to hold Smith responsible for his alleged abuse of power ‌have picked ⁠up in the past year, though no charges against him have been filed. In December, Smith gave closed-door testimony to a GOP-led House committee, saying the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot “does not happen” without Trump. Smith then gave public testimony before the same committee in January.

Much of the Republican criticism of Smith has focused on records his investigators obtained involving members of Congress. Smith obtained phone call logs from several Republican senators around the time ​of the Capitol riot. In July, Republican ​senators revealed that Smith also ⁠reviewed texts from 44 US lawmakers as part of a review of material from White House aides.

Soon after, Jim Jordan, the Republican chair of the House Judiciary Committee, referred Smith to the Justice Department, claiming he made ​false statements to the panel about the nature of those phone records.

Smith was asked specifically about material known ​as toll records from ⁠members of Congress, which do not contain the content of any conversations.

Smith’s lawyers said Smith provided truthful information in his answers and was not required to divulge information that lawmakers did not ask about. Smith has said lawmakers’ phone records were necessary to investigate Trump’s pressure campaign to stop certification of his ⁠election defeat.

Trump’s ​Justice Department is also scrutinizing Smith’s investigation into Trump’s retention of classified documents as part ​of a larger investigation seeking to establish that Trump’s rights were violated.

Several former FBI officials who worked on the 2022 search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, which predated Smith’s appointment as special ​counsel, have been asked to testify in that investigation in recent weeks.
