4月28日（路透社）——美国司法部周一晚间请求一名联邦法官驳回一起阻碍特朗普总统推进白宫宴会厅项目的诉讼，称其反对者“患有特朗普仇恨综合征”，并表示针对总统的未遂暗杀事件证明该项目十分必要。
在一份长达9页的法庭文件中，司法部官员表示，周六在白宫记者协会晚宴上被挫败的袭击事件，证明了修建白宫宴会厅对于国家安全的必要性。

“如果其他任何一位总统具备修建这座宴会厅所需的能力、远见或才能——这座宴会厅将成为全球同类建筑中最宏伟、最安全、最坚固的建筑之一——那么根本不会有人提起诉讼，”司法部官员在法庭文件中写道。“但因为这是唐纳德·J·特朗普——一位成就斐然的房地产开发商——他拥有他人不具备的能力，尤其是那些就任总统职位的人所没有的能力，所以这场毫无意义、毫无根据的诉讼才会被提起。”
文件称，发起这场诉讼的保护主义团体“对我们国家危害极大”，患有“特朗普仇恨综合征”，“其代理律师是巴拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马的律师”。

司法部请求美国地区法官理查德·里昂驳回由国会特许的非营利组织国家历史保护信托基金提起的针对该宴会厅项目的诉讼。
曾由乔治·W·布什任命、现任华盛顿地区法官的里昂本月早些时候表示，他同意该非营利组织的观点，即特朗普未经国会批准修建宴会厅缺乏法律依据。里昂发布了一项禁令，叫停“拟建宴会厅的地上施工”，但该命令很快被上诉法院搁置，因此施工目前仍在继续。
这份法庭文件引发了一些法律专家的批评，他们表示其语气和大写格式明显模仿了特朗普长期以来在社交媒体帖子中使用的风格。
“‘我的委托人让我这么写的’不能成为法律文件中使用不当语言的借口，无论你的委托人是普通公民还是美国总统，”自由意志主义智库卡托研究所的律师托马斯·贝里在X平台上说道。
国家历史保护信托基金周一表示，尽管司法部提出了诉求，但他们不会撤诉。
“我们不打算主动撤诉，这场诉讼不会危及任何人，我们只是 respectfully 要求政府遵守法律，”该信托基金负责人卡罗尔·奎伦在一份声明中说道。
被指控在特朗普出席的华盛顿晚宴现场开枪的男子周一被指控企图暗杀美国总统，若罪名成立，他将面临终身监禁。

April 28 (Reuters) – The Justice Department on Monday night asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit that has impeded President Donald Trump’s plans for a White House ballroom, saying its opponents “suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome” and that an alleged assassination attempt on the president showed the project was necessary.
In a nine-page court filing, opens new tab, Justice Department leaders said Saturday’s foiled attack at the White House Correspondents Association dinner demonstrated why a White House ballroom is required for national security.

“If any other President had the ability, foresight, or talents necessary, to build this ballroom, which will be one of the greatest, safest, and most secure structures of its kind anywhere in the World, there would never have been a lawsuit,” Justice Department leaders said in the court filing. “But, because it is DONALD J. TRUMP, a highly successful real estate developer, who has abilities that others don’t, especially those who assume the Office of President, this frivolous and meritless lawsuit was filed.”
The filing said the preservationist group behind the lawsuit is “very bad for our Country,” suffers from “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME” and “is represented by the lawyer for Barack Hussein Obama.”

The filing asked U.S. District Judge Richard Leon to throw out a lawsuit challenging the ballroom project filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a congressionally chartered nonprofit organization.
Leon, an appointee of George W. Bush sitting in Washington, said earlier this month that he agreed with the nonprofit that Trump lacked legal authority to build the ballroom without congressional approval. Leon issued an injunction that halted “above-ground construction of the planned ballroom,” but his order was quickly put on hold by an appeals court, so construction has continued for the time being.
The court filing drew criticism from some legal experts, who said it appeared to mirror the distinctive tone and capitalization Trump has long used in his social media posts.
“‘My client made me write it that way’ is not an excuse for inappropriate language in a legal filing, whether your client is a private citizen or the U.S. president,” said Thomas Berry, a lawyer at the libertarian Cato Institute, on X.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation said Monday that it would not drop its lawsuit, despite the Justice Department’s request.
“We are not planning to voluntarily dismiss our lawsuit, which endangers no one and which respectfully asks the Administration to follow the law,” said a statement from Carol Quillen, the head of the trust.
The man accused of opening fire at the venue of a Washington dinner attended by Trump was charged on Monday with attempting to assassinate the U.S. president and could face life in prison if convicted.
