华盛顿讯—— 特朗普总统周三表示,他将请求国会短期延长一项将于本周五到期的关键间谍监控权限,目前他提名比尔·普尔特担任国家情报总监的提名正陷入僵局。
“《外国情报监控法》第702条对我国军方以及保护美国民众安全至关重要,尤其是在世界杯和美国建国250周年庆祝活动期间,”特朗普在Truth社交平台的发帖中说道。“如果不采取任何行动,这项重要法律将于本周失效。”
特朗普表示,他正在寻求短期延长权限,以“为挑选和确认该机构的永久负责人争取时间”。
上周,特朗普宣布提名联邦住房金融局局长普尔特担任代理国家情报总监,此举是出于图尔西·加巴德将于本月晚些时候离职的考虑。此举遭到了民主党以及部分共和党议员的强烈反对,他们质疑普尔特缺乏国家安全领域的工作经验。
民主党对这一提名大加抨击,指出普尔特曾向司法部提交刑事举报,指控特朗普的一些政治对手存在抵押贷款欺诈行为。此后,民主党议员承诺,只要普尔特即将执掌国家情报总监办公室(哪怕是临时职位),他们就不会支持重新授权第702条。
特朗普的上述发帖是在他周二与众议院议长迈克·约翰逊会面,以及周三再次在白宫会晤之后发布的。
在发帖中,特朗普重申了他的计划:如果普尔特在6月19日就职,他将开始对国家情报总监办公室进行裁员。
“[我]已经要求他立即启动对该办公室必要的精简工作,将工作人员调回其原属机构。与此同时,我正在寻找一名具备国家安全经验的国家情报总监正式提名候选人,”特朗普写道。
参议院共和党领导人已敦促特朗普任命一名正式的国家情报总监。多数党领袖约翰·图恩周二表示,挑选一名永久情报负责人将“在获得我们所需的支持以通过《外国情报监控法》授权方面发挥重要作用”。
在特朗普周三发帖之前,图恩对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,“总统在这些任命问题上的决策是他的权力”,并补充道“我们会据此应对”。
“我们已经表明了我们的立场,即我们认为如何在该法于午夜到期前争取足够票数通过《外国情报监控法》授权,”图恩说道。
Trump asks Congress for short-term FISA extension amid impasse over Pulte appointment

Washington — President Trump said Wednesday that he’s asking Congress to approve a short-term extension of a key spy authority, which is set to expire Friday, amid an impasse over his selection of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence.
“FISA 702 is very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe, especially during the World Cup and America250 Celebrations,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “If nothing is done, this important Law will expire this week.”
The president said he is seeking the short-term extension to “provide time for the selection and confirmation of a permanent Head of the Agency.”
Last week, Mr. Trump announced that he had selected Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to serve as acting director of national intelligence in light of Tulsi Gabbard’s planned departure later this month. The move was met with intense pushback from Democrats, along with some Republicans, who questioned his lack of national security experience.
Democrats lambasted the choice, pointing to Pulte’s record of making criminal referrals to the Justice Department alleging mortgage fraud by some of Mr. Trump’s political foes. They have since pledged to withhold their support for reauthorizing Section 702 as long as Pulte is set to assume control of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, even in a temporary capacity.
The president’s post came after he met with House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday and again on Wednesday at the White House.
In his post, Mr. Trump reiterated his plans to have Pulte begin making cuts at the ODNI when he is installed on June 19.
“[I] have asked him to execute the immediate and needed downsizing of the office, reverting staff to their home agencies. At the same time, I am looking for a permanent ODNI Nominee with experience in National Security,” the president wrote.
Senate GOP leaders have encouraged the president to appoint a permanent director of national intelligence. Majority Leader John Thune said Tuesday that the selection of a permanent intelligence chief would “play an important role in unlocking the support that we need to get FISA done.”
Thune told CBS News ahead of the president’s post on Wednesday that “the president’s decision making around those appointments are his decisions,” adding “we deal with it accordingly.”
“We made our views known about how we think we unlock votes to get FISA done before it expires on midnight,” Thune said.
