特朗普任内的美国司法部周二发布一份新报告，指控拜登政府不公平地利用旨在保护堕胎诊所准入权的联邦法律，打压反堕胎抗议者。
这份报告是司法部“政治操弄工作组”的首个成果——该工作组是在唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期早期成立的，此时代理司法部长托德·布兰奇正因起诉特朗普的政治对手而面临压力。
报告指责拜登政府司法部在《诊所准入自由法案》（FACE Act）的执法中存在偏见。该法案于1994年通过，旨在应对针对堕胎服务提供者的袭击，同时也禁止在宗教礼拜场所实施威胁或阻挠行为。
拜登政府前最高民权律师为司法部的工作进行了辩护。
“民权部门召集执法负责人、危机妊娠中心代表、宗教领袖和生殖健康医护人员，共同解决我国太多人在获得生殖医疗服务时面临的真实暴力、暴力威胁和阻挠行为，”克里斯汀·克拉克在一份声明中说道。“我们公平执法，将公共安全作为这项工作的核心。”
CNN也已联系其他拜登政府司法部官员征求评论。
今年早些时候，特朗普任内的司法部依据《诊所准入自由法案》对前CNN记者唐·莱蒙等人提起诉讼，此前一场抗议活动闯入明尼苏达州的一座教堂。

拜登政府依据该法案发起了约24起案件。
司法部如今指控拜登政府的检察官在针对反堕胎活动人士的案件中存在不当行为，并隐瞒证据。他们还指责检察官试图基于宗教身份筛选陪审员，以及使用“激进”的逮捕策略。
特朗普政府反复提及对马克·豪克的逮捕——他是一名反堕胎权利活动人士，也是七个孩子的天主教父亲，被指控在一家计划生育诊所外推搡一名陪同人员。报告指责拜登政府司法部允许联邦调查局对豪克实施协同逮捕，而非允许他向执法机关自首。
报告还称，拜登政府每一起《诊所准入自由法案》案件的首席检察官都曾为美国全国堕胎联合会的一项私人资助申请提供推荐信。报告指责长期在民权部门任职、专门负责《诊所准入自由法案》起诉的桑杰·帕特尔，与该组织的资助申请相关存在道德违规行为。
据一名知情人士透露，帕特尔和至少另外三名参与《诊所准入自由法案》起诉工作的人员已于周一被解雇。
“司法部已解雇了那些仍在部内、负责利用《诊所准入自由法案》进行政治操弄的人员，”司法部一名发言人表示。
CNN已尝试联系帕特尔征求评论。
报告称，拜登政府司法部对反堕胎被告判处的刑罚远比对支持堕胎的暴力被告更为严厉。根据司法部的一份新闻稿，拜登政府司法部为反堕胎活动人士请求的平均刑期为26.8个月，而在起诉支持堕胎的被告时，他们建议的平均刑期仅为12.3个月。
“本部门绝不容忍两级司法体系，”代理副司法部长托德·布兰奇说道。“任何部门都不应基于信仰进行选择性起诉。拜登政府时期发生的政治操弄不会再次上演，我们将恢复检察系统的公信力。”
这份报告不具备任何法律效力，但为特朗普政府公开批评拜登政府司法部提供了平台。报告称“已就可能存在的检察不当行为提交了适当的内部转办函”，但未提供任何额外细节。
“在适当情况下，司法部可能会将现任或前任雇员移交刑事起诉，”报告写道。
司法部一名发言人拒绝透露是否有拜登政府高级官员被移交处理。
司法部表示，已采取措施推翻拜登政府对《诊所准入自由法案》的执法方式。
特朗普已赦免了多名反堕胎人士，了结并驳回了针对反堕胎活动人士的民事诉讼，并指示司法部仅在“特殊情况”下依据《诊所准入自由法案》提起与堕胎相关的民事起诉。
政治操弄工作组
政治操弄工作组由前司法部长帕姆·邦迪成立，旨在审查拜登政府时期采取的执法行动，找出她所称的“政治化司法”案例。
她表示，该工作组将重点调查前特别检察官杰克·史密斯及其团队对特朗普发起的调查；曼哈顿地区检察官阿尔文·布拉格和纽约州检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯的调查；以及任何针对2021年1月6日美国国会山袭击事件的“不当”调查。
除特朗普相关案件外，工作组的任务还包括审查拜登政府期间共和党人提出的其他问题，包括针对天主教徒的歧视指控、拜登政府时期发布的一份保护学区董事会成员免受家长威胁的备忘录、对举报人保护措施的审查，以及针对反堕胎示威者的起诉。
邦迪此前曾表示，工作组将审查“过去四年里所有行使美国民事或刑事执法权力的部门和机构的活动”，并找出那些“旨在实现政治目标或其他不当目的”的行为。
该工作组曾由司法部官员埃德·马丁牵头，他在参议院未能确认其担任华盛顿特区联邦检察官后被任命到该职位。
但一年来，尽管工作组聚焦总统优先关注的议题，却未能公开发布任何成果。CNN今年早些时候报道称，该工作组将加倍努力发布报告。
一名知情人士透露，工作组每周都召开会议，最终促成了周二发布的这份报告。
DOJ ‘weaponization’ report accuses Biden administration of biased prosecutions against anti-abortion protesters

The Trump Justice Department released a new report Tuesday accusing the Biden administration of unfairly using a federal law meant to protect access to abortion clinics to go after anti-abortion protesters.
The report is the first product from DOJ’s “Weaponization Working Group” – established early in President Donald Trump’s second term – and comes as Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faces pressure to pursue prosecutions against Trump’s political adversaries.
The report accuses the Biden Justice Department of being biased in its enforcement of the FACE Act, which was passed in 1994 in the wake of attacks on abortion providers. The law also prohibits threats or obstruction at places of religious worship.
Biden’s former top civil rights lawyer defended the department’s work.
“The Civil Rights Division brought law enforcement leaders, crisis pregnancy center representatives, faith leaders, and reproductive health care staff together to address the real violence, threats of violence, and obstruction that too many people face in our country when it comes to reproductive health care,” Kristen Clarke said in a statement. “We enforced the law even-handedly and put public safety at the center of this work.”
CNN has also reached out to other Biden DOJ officials for comment.
Earlier this year, Trump’s DOJ used the FACE act to bring charges against former CNN journalist Don Lemon and others after a protest entered a church in Minnesota.

The Biden administration initiated approximately two dozen cases under the act.
The Justice Department now accuses Biden prosecutors of engaging in inappropriate conduct and withholding evidence in cases it brought against anti-abortion activists. They also accuse prosecutors of trying to screen jurors based on religion and using “aggressive” arrest tactics.
The Trump administration repeatedly points to the arrest of Mark Houck – an anti-abortion rights activist and Catholic father of seven – who was accused of pushing an escort outside of a Planned Parenthood facility. The report accuses the Biden Justice Department of letting the FBI move forward with a coordinated arrest for Houck instead of allowing him to surrender to law enforcement.
The report also alleges the lead Biden prosecutors on each FACE Act prosecution served as a reference for the National Abortion Federation’s application for a private grant. The report accuses Sanjay Patel, a longtime prosecutor in the Civil Rights Division who specialized in FACE Act prosecution, of ethical violations related to the group’s grant application.
Patel and at least three others who worked on FACE Act prosecutions were fired Monday, according to a source familiar with the matter.
“DOJ has terminated the employment of personnel responsible for weaponizing the FACE Act who still remained at the department,” a spokesperson for the Justice Department said.
CNN has attempted to reach Patel for comment.
The report says the Biden DOJ pursued significantly harsher sentences for anti-defendants than violent pro-abortion defendants. According to a press release from the Justice Department, the Biden DOJ requested an average of 26.8-month sentences for anti-abortion advocates in comparison to the 12.3-month sentences they recommended for pro-abortion defendants it prosecuted.
“This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” said acting Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs. The weaponization that happened under the Biden Administration will not happen again, as we restore integrity to our prosecutorial system.”
The report does not carry any legal weight but allows the Trump Administration to publicly criticize the Biden Justice Department. The report says that “appropriate internal referrals have been made” for possible instances of prosecutorial misconduct but does not provide any additional details.
“Where appropriate, DOJ may refer current or former employees for criminal prosecution,” the report says.
A Justice Department spokesperson declined to say if any top Biden officials were referred.
The Justice Department says it has already taken steps to reverse the Biden administration’s enforcement of the FACE Act.
Trump issued pardons for many anti-abortionists, settled and dismissed civil lawsuits against anti-abortion activists, and directed the Justice Department to only bring civil abortion-related prosecutions under the FACE Act in “extraordinary circumstances.”
The Weaponization Working Group
The Weaponization Working Group was formed by former Attorney General Pam Bondi to review law enforcement actions taken under the Biden administration for any examples of what she described as “politicized justice.”
She said the group would focus on investigations into Trump conducted by former special counsel Jack Smith and his staff; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James; and any “improper” investigations into the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
In addition to the Trump cases, it is tasked with looking at other issues that Republicans raised during the Biden administration, including allegations of discrimination against Catholics, a Biden-era memo about protecting school board members against threats from parents, protections for whistleblowers, and prosecutions against anti-abortion demonstrators.
Bondi previously said the group would review “the activities of all departments and agencies exercising civil or criminal enforcement authority of the United States over the last four years,” and work to find instances in which practices were “designed to achieve political objectives or other improper aims.”
The group was at one point led by Justice Department official Ed Martin, who was tapped for the position after the Senate failed to confirm him to be the US attorney for Washington, DC.
But after a year, the group had failed to produce anything publicly despite focusing on issues that were a priority for the president. CNN reported earlier this year that the group would redouble efforts to produce reports.
A source familiar with the situation said the group has been meeting weekly to produce Tuesday’s report.
