在一份模仿唐纳德·特朗普总统经典口吻、不同寻常地措辞尖锐的法庭文件中,美国司法部于周一晚间请求一名联邦法官撤销一项裁决,该裁决原本会叫停一座大型新白宫宴会厅的建设工程。

司法部的请求辩称,在白宫记者晚宴现场出现的疑似枪手“证实”了美国地区法官理查德·利昂发布的禁令“令人无法容忍且站不住脚”。

这份措辞激烈的文件是特朗普政府最新一次试图摆脱与美国顶级历史保护组织就该宴会厅项目展开的长期法律战,此前利昂已作出多项关键裁决,称在国会明确批准之前,特朗普不得推进该项目。

这份由代理司法部长托德·布兰奇和副司法部长斯坦·伍德沃德签署的长达八页的文件中,充斥着已成为总统社交媒体常见用语的措辞。

“国家历史保护信托基金是个好听的名字,但即便如此他们的名号也是虚假的,因为他们在‘国家历史保护信托基金’后面加上‘在美国’字样,听起来就像是一个政府机构,但实际上它并不是,”文件开篇如此写道。

尽管利昂的裁决已被联邦上诉法院搁置,但特朗普的律师上周六要求国家历史保护信托基金撤回针对该宴会厅的诉讼,但该组织拒绝了这一要求。作为回应,政府转而向利昂求助,请求他撤销本月早些时候作出的一项裁决:该裁决允许工人继续进行前东翼遗址下方一处高度复杂的掩体的收尾工作,但不得推进宴会厅的任何地上施工。

这份文件并未由司法部任何职业律师签署,文件声称这起基础案件“毫无意义”,尽管利昂从未在该案中作出过这样的认定。文件批评该信托基金患有“特朗普仇恨综合症”,并质问既然该项目由私人捐款资助,为何会有人反对。

“本法庭本就不该叫停这个项目,而现在,在周六晚上的未遂暗杀事件之后——这场暗杀本绝不可能在新场馆中发生——理智的人们再也不会有分歧了——必须解除这项禁令,”律师们在文件中写道。

“一名刺客距离开枪射杀总统——以及他的家人、大部分内阁成员、高级幕僚和华盛顿媒体团——仅差几秒的事实,赤裸裸地暴露了华盛顿没有为大型高规格活动提供安全空间,也没有能够‘容纳具备美国政府继任顺序的活动’的场所,”文件中写道。“他周六晚上的所作所为绝不可能在这座全新且高度安全的场馆中发生!”

但观察人士指出,这场新闻晚宴是在白宫场外举办的私人活动,新建宴会厅并不会改变这一现状。

而且利昂此前也曾驳回过政府提出的叫停项目会危及总统或白宫其他人员生命的主张。

“在整个案件审理过程中,法庭一直认真对待被告方提出的国家安全和总统安保诉求,这也是为何我在最初的裁决中加入了一项安全与安保例外条款,”利昂在本月早些时候的裁决中写道,当时他驳回了特朗普以国家安全为由继续推进整个项目的请求。

该信托基金的律师也强调,他们认为总统的安全“至关重要”。他们周一告诉司法部,其“声称这场诉讼将总统的生命置于‘严重危险’之中”是错误且不负责任的。

该组织在致司法部的一封信中强调,此案的焦点并非是否应该在白宫新建一座宴会厅,而是特朗普能否在未经国会批准的情况下,对总统官邸进行如此大规模的改造。

华盛顿特区的一家联邦上诉法院定于6月初就利昂下令暂停这座地上、近9万平方英尺的活动空间施工是否存在错误进行听证。

In Trump-like tone, government lawyers ask court to undo ruling halting work on White House ballroom

In an unusually biting court filing that mimicked the classic tone of President Donald Trump, the Justice Department asked a federal judge late Monday to undo a ruling that would have halted construction of a massive new White House ballroom.

The DOJ’s request argued the suspected gunman who showed up at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “confirms” that the injunction issued by US District Judge Richard Leon “is intolerable and unsustainable.”

The sharply worded filing represents the Trump administration’s latest bid to get out from under a protracted legal battle brought by the nation’s top historic preservation group against the ballroom project, which has resulted in several key rulings from Leon that say Trump cannot proceed with the project until Congress expressly authorizes it.

The latest eight-page filing signed by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Associate Attorney General Stan Woodward is dotted with language that has become commonplace in the president’s social media.

“The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a beautiful name, but even their name is FAKE because when they add the words ‘in the United States’ to the National Trust for Historic Preservation it makes it sound like a Governmental Agency, which it is not,” the filing begins.

Though Leon’s decisions have been put on hold by a federal appeals court, lawyers for Trump over the weekend demanded the National Trust for Historic Preservation drop its case against the ballroom, which the group is refusing to do. In response, the administration turned to Leon to ask him to rescind a ruling earlier this month that said workers could not move forward with any above-ground construction of the ballroom but could proceed with finishing a highly sophisticated bunker being built under the site of the former East Wing.

The filing, which was not signed by any career lawyers at the department, claims the underlying case is “frivolous,” though Leon has never made such a finding in the matter. It criticizes the Trust as having “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and asks why anyone would object to the project given the fact that it’s being paid for through private donations.

“This Court should never have enjoined this project, but now, after the Saturday night attempted assassination, which could have never taken place in the new facility, reasonable minds can no longer differ – The injunction must be dissolved,” the lawyers wrote in the filing.

“The fact that an assassin came mere seconds from shooting the president – along with his family, the bulk of his Cabinet, his senior staff, and the Washington press corps—lays bare that D.C. does not have a secure space for large high-profile events, or one able to ‘accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government,’” the filing reads. “What he did on Saturday night could not have taken place in this new and highly secure facility!”

Observers, however, have pointed out that the press gala is a private event held outside the White House and that a new ballroom would not change that reality.

And Leon has previously rejected claims from the administration that halting work on the project endangers the life of the president or others at the White House.

“The court has taken defendants’ invocation of national security and presidential security seriously throughout this case, which is why I included a safety-and-security exception in my original order,” Leon wrote in his ruling earlier this month that rejected Trump’s bid to continue work on the entire project for national security purposes.

Lawyers for the trust, too, have stressed that they consider the safety and security of the president to be “of critical importance.” They told the Justice Department on Monday that its “assertion that this lawsuit puts the President’s life at ‘grave risk’ is incorrect and irresponsible.”

The group emphasized in a letter to the department that the case wasn’t focused on whether there should be a new ballroom built at the White House but rather whether Trump could proceed with such a massive change to the presidential residence without congressional approval.

A federal appeals court in Washington, DC, is set to hear arguments in early June over whether Leon erred when he ordered Trump to pause construction on the above-ground, nearly 90,000 square-foot event space.
