- 布兰奇为特朗普干预司法部调查的权力辩护，称这是总统职责
- 特朗普上周解雇前司法部长
- 代理司法部长向特朗普示爱：“我爱你，先生”
华盛顿，4月7日（路透社）——美国代理司法部长托德·布兰奇周二表示，总统唐纳德·特朗普有权也有责任影响对曾调查过他的个人的联邦调查，尽管他正面临来自总统要求起诉所谓政敌的压力。
这是布兰奇上周被任命为代理司法部长以来首次发表长篇评论，他驳斥了司法部不正针对特朗普对手的说法，但为总统干预调查的权力进行了辩护。

“目前我国正在开展数千起 ongoing 调查和起诉工作。确实，其中一些案件涉及总统过去曾有过节、认为应当接受调查的个人、女性和实体。这是他的权利，而且确实是他领导这个国家的职责，”布兰奇在新闻发布会上说道。
特朗普周四解雇了前司法部长帕姆·邦迪，部分原因是对他要求的案件的进展和结果不满。
“我爱你，先生”
特朗普执政期间的司法部已对特朗普的对手展开了一系列调查，包括认定俄罗斯干预2016年美国总统大选以助力特朗普首次竞选的美国官员、敦促美军人员拒绝非法命令的民主党议员，以及自由派捐赠者和筹款团体。

司法部在其中许多调查中都遭遇了来自法官和大陪审团的阻碍。去年，一名联邦法官驳回了针对两名调查特朗普的官员詹姆斯·科米和利蒂希娅·詹姆斯的案件。
曾在特朗普卸任期间代表他处理四起刑事案件中的三起的布兰奇，援引这些案件辩称，特朗普“想要为那些他认为曾不当地将法律体系用来对付他的人寻求公正”。
布兰奇周二拒绝透露他是否希望被提名填补空缺的司法部长职位。他表示这一决定权在特朗普手中，如果总统提名其他人并要求布兰奇离开司法部，“我会说，‘非常感谢你，我爱你，先生。’”

WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) – Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump has a right and duty to shape federal probes of individuals who investigated him as he faces pressure from the president to deliver prosecutions of perceived enemies.
In his first extended comments since being named acting attorney general last week, Blanche bristled at the notion that the Justice Department has been improperly targeting Trump’s opponents, but defended the president’s authority to influence investigations.

“We have thousands of ongoing investigations and prosecutions going on in this country right now. It is true that some of them involve men, women and entities that the president in the past has had issues with and believes should be investigated. That is his right and indeed it is his duty to do that, meaning to lead this country,” Blanche said during a press conference.
Trump fired former Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday in part over dissatisfaction with the pace and outcome of cases Trump has demanded.
‘I LOVE YOU, SIR’
The Justice Department under Trump has opened a slew of investigations into Trump adversaries, including U.S. officials who concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to boost Trump’s first campaign, Democratic lawmakers who urged U.S. military personnel to refuse unlawful orders and liberal donors and fundraising groups.

The DOJ has encountered obstacles from judges and grand juries in many of those investigations. A federal judge last year dismissed cases against two officials who investigated Trump, James Comey and Letitia James.
Blanche, who represented Trump in three of the four criminal cases he faced during his years out of office, pointed to those cases in arguing that Trump “wants justice” for those whom he believes improperly turned the legal system against him.
Blanche declined to say on Tuesday whether he wants to be nominated to the vacant attorney general post. He said the decision was up to Trump, and if the president nominated someone else and asked Blanche to leave his role in the Justice Department, “I will say, ‘thank you very much, I love you, sir.’”
