目前尚不清楚特朗普司法部针对明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔的证据究竟为何。联邦执法人员于周一搜查了她在华盛顿特区周边的住宅。
但值得强调的是,奥马尔一直是特朗普的重点攻击目标,而特朗普也曾多次指示司法部针对其政治对手。特朗普声称自己并未参与此次搜查,但在选举临近之际,司法部采取如此激进的调查行动,这极其反常。
这一事件也印证了一个愈发明显的双重标准模式:对被判有罪的国会共和党议员宽大处理,对国会民主党议员则进行法律打压——后者的证据往往相当薄弱。
这里有一组颇具说服力的数据:
- 特朗普在11名被判联邦重罪的共和党籍前国会议员中,赦免了其中9人。
- 自特朗普再次就职以来,其司法部至少对13名民主党国会议员发起了起诉、试图起诉或采取了公开调查行动。
这些赦免对象涵盖了2010年以来绝大多数被判有罪的共和党议员:前纽约州众议员乔治·桑托斯、克里斯·柯林斯和迈克尔·格里姆,印第安纳州前众议员史蒂夫·拜耶,北卡罗来纳州前众议员罗宾·海斯,加利福尼亚州前众议员邓肯·亨特,德克萨斯州前众议员史蒂夫·斯托克曼,亚利桑那州前众议员里克·伦齐,以及密歇根州前众议员马克·西尔詹德。
2010年以来被判有罪的共和党议员中,特朗普未予赦免的仅有两人:前众议院议长丹尼斯·哈斯特尔特,他于2015年因涉嫌性骚扰高中运动员的封口钱案被判有罪(哈斯特尔特于上周去世);以及佛罗里达州前众议员戴维·里韦拉,他于今年5月被判有罪,并于上周被判处10年监禁,罪名是为委内瑞拉开展秘密游说活动。
作为美国国务卿马可·卢比奥的多年好友,里韦拉已经申请了赦免。
反观民主党这边,特朗普的司法部将多位民主党国会议员作为目标。
其中一些调查可能有合理依据:前众议员希拉·谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克在两党认定其存在道德违规行为后,于今年4月辞去了国会职务,并遭到起诉。(她已提出无罪抗辩。)
但针对其他人的证据则十分薄弱。其中包括6名民主党国会议员,特朗普司法部试图对他们发起起诉但未能成功,原因是他们曾制作一段视频,告知军方人员不要服从非法命令(尽管这一内容本就是美军人员已接受的指导)。
总体而言,特朗普司法部成功起诉了两名民主党议员:谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克,以及新泽西州众议员拉莫妮卡·麦基弗。麦基弗被控去年在移民拘留中心的混乱场面中袭击移民执法人员。(起诉书中未提及执法人员受伤,她已提出无罪抗辩。)
司法部未能对其他6名议员提起起诉:亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利、密歇根州参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金,以及科罗拉多州众议员杰森·克劳、宾夕法尼亚州众议员克里斯·德卢齐奥和克里西·霍拉汉,以及新罕布什尔州众议员玛吉·古兰德尔。
此外,司法部还对以下人员采取了不同程度的调查行动:奥马尔、加利福尼亚州参议员亚当·希夫、亚利桑那州参议员鲁文·加列戈、加利福尼亚州众议员罗伯特·加西亚,以及弗吉尼亚州众议员尤金·温德曼。
就特朗普的赦免对象党派构成而言,国会民主党议员中仅有两名前议员获得赦免。
其中一人是前众议员、伊利诺伊州州长罗德·布拉戈耶维奇,他曾是特朗普真人秀节目《飞黄腾达》的参赛者,后来成为特朗普的坚定盟友。另一人是德克萨斯州众议员亨利·奎拉尔,特朗普似乎是希望通过赦免他,促使其改换党派。
针对国会共和党议员的调查,目前唯一已知的重大调查对象似乎是佛罗里达州众议员科里·米尔斯。多家媒体今年7月报道称,米尔斯正面临调查。但他的问题似乎过于严重——他因相关指控在党内初选中落败——以至于司法部很难视而不见。(特朗普甚至在该议员落选后声称,自己曾敦促他退出竞选。)
根据近期ProPublica的一篇重磅报道,特朗普司法部还叫停了此前已在进行的针对田纳西州众议员安迪·奥格尔斯、内布拉斯加州前众议员杰夫·福滕贝里,以及据报道针对缅因州参议员苏珊·柯林斯的调查或案件。
一些共和党人对特朗普这种双重标准的法律审查方式表示支持,认为在拜登政府时期的司法部对众多共和党人展开调查后,这样的做法算是公平对等。
但几乎没有证据表明,拜登白宫曾向司法部施加政治压力,推动相关调查。尽管起诉只需满足较低的证据标准,但特朗普司法部对政治对手发起的起诉失败率高得异乎寻常。
与针对6名国会民主党议员、纽约州总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯和前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米等人的薄弱证据形成鲜明对比的是,绝大多数被起诉的特朗普盟友最终都被判有罪。
The Ilhan Omar home search fits a very political pattern for Trump and his DOJ
2026-10-13T17:10:27.216Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/13/politics/ilhan-omar-home-search-trump
It remains to be seen what kind of evidence the Trump Justice Department has against Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, whose DC-area home federal officers searched on Monday.
But it’s worth emphasizing that she’s been a frequent target of Trump, who has often trained his Justice Department on his political enemies. Trump claims he wasn’t involved in the search, but it’s highly unusual for the Justice Department to execute such aggressive investigative steps so close to an election.
And the episode fills out an increasingly remarkable pattern: Leniency for congressional Republicans convicted of crimes, and legal targeting for congressional Democrats — often based on rather thin evidence.
Here’s a telling stat:
- Trump has pardoned 9 of the last 11 Republican congressmen to be convicted of federal crimes.
- His Justice Department has indicted, tried to indict or taken reported investigative steps against at least 13 Democratic members of Congress since he returned to office.
The pardons are for the vast majority of Republicans convicted since 2010: former Reps. George Santos, Chris Collins and Michael Grimm of New York, Steve Buyer of Indiana, Robin Hayes of North Carolina, Duncan Hunter of California, Steve Stockman of Texas, Rick Renzi of Arizona and Mark Siljander of Michigan.
The only Republican congressmen convicted since 2010 that Trump didn’t pardon have been former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who was convicted in 2015 in a hush money case related to his alleged molestation of high school athletes (Hastert died last week), and former Rep. David Rivera of Florida, who was convicted in May and sentenced last week to 10 years in prison for a secret lobbying campaign for Venezuela.
Rivera, a longtime friend of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has already applied for a pardon.
On the flipside, Trump’s Justice Department has targeted many Democratic members of Congress.
Some could be for legitimate reasons; now-former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress in April amid a bipartisan finding of ethics violations and has been indicted. (She has pleaded not guilty.)
But the evidence against others has been thin. That includes the six Democratic members of Congress that the Trump DOJ tried and failed to indict for cutting a video telling members of the military not to obey illegal orders (even though that’s guidance service members are already given).
All told, the Trump Justice Department has secured indictments of two Democratic members: Cherfilus-McCormick and Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey, who’s accused of assaulting immigration agents during a chaotic scene at a migrant detention center last year. (The indictment does not allege the officers were injured and she has pleaded not guilty.)
The DOJ failed to indict those other six members: Sens. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, and Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, and Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire.
And it has taken investigate steps (of varying degrees) against: Omar, Sen. Adam Schiff of California, Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Rep. Robert Garcia of California and Rep. Eugene Vindman of Virginia.
And when it comes to the partisan breakdown of Trump’s pardons, there are few outliers among members of Congress.
Trump has pardoned two former Democratic members of Congress. But one of them was former Rep. and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was once a contestant on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice” and became a staunch Trump ally. And the other was Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, whom the president seems to have pardoned in hopes that he would change parties.
When it comes to investigations against Republicans in Congress, about the only major one appears to be into Rep. Cory Mills of Florida, who some outlets reported in July faced scrutiny. But his problems appear to be so extensive — he lost his primary amid allegations against him — that they would be difficult for the DOJ to ignore. (Trump even claimed after the congressman lost that he’d urged him to drop out of the race.)
Trump’s DOJ has also backed off previously existing investigations or cases involving Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska and, reportedly, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, according to a major recent ProPublica report.
Some Republicans have embraced Trump’s two-tiered approach to legal scrutiny, arguing turnabout is fair play after the Justice Department under President Joe Biden probed many Republicans.
But there is far less evidence suggesting those investigations resulted from any political pressure coming from the Biden White House. Trump’s DOJ has also managed an extraordinary number of failed indictments against political foes (despite indictments needing to clear a low bar).
And in contrast to the thin evidence against figures like the six congressional Democrats, New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey, the vast majority of Trump allies who were indicted wound up being convicted.
