据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)获得的庭审记录显示,一名联邦法官周四私下斥责检察官试图在白宫记者晚宴枪击案枪手的羁押听证会上作秀。
“我不知道这里到底是怎么回事。我知道你们或许想要向法庭之外的某些听众展示案情,”治安法官莫西拉·乌帕迪亚亚周四在法庭上当着三位检察官的面,在公众和记者听不到的范围内说道,“我不想让这场听证会变成一场闹剧。”
乌帕迪亚亚的言论凸显了科尔·托马斯·艾伦被联邦特工开枪击中并逮捕后的六天里出现的态势:特朗普政府官员在新闻采访和主动提交的法庭文件中,大肆宣扬他们所谓的总统未遂刺杀案的理论。
华盛顿特区联邦检察官让娜·皮尔罗等人曾多次在电视采访中发表过激言论,给出的枪击事件细节比联邦调查局和司法部一线检察官在法庭上披露的内容更加明确。

美国特勤局局长肖恩·M·柯伦周四表示,艾伦曾近距离枪击一名警员。皮尔罗周四在福克斯新闻频道节目中称,艾伦曾向特勤局警员开枪。但法庭文件中对事件的描述并未如此明确。
在周四的听证会上,检察官准备在法庭上展示他们所掌握的枪击事件、艾伦的武器以及酒店犯罪现场的新视频和照片。乌帕迪亚亚法官裁定,由于艾伦的律师已表示同意其在审判前继续被羁押,因此无需在法庭上展示这些证据,遂叫停了检方的展示计划。
法官随后显得颇为恼怒,将检察官和辩护律师叫到法官席旁进行私下谈话,期间她继续批评司法部的处理方式。
此次交流也凸显出调查仍处于早期且信息尚不完整的阶段。
“这场调查才开展五天,”根据庭审记录,检察官乔斯林·巴兰坦回应法官称,“一旦我们敲定最终报告和证据披露材料”——即辩护团队可以审阅的证据——“我们就能够向辩护律师准确提供相关信息,届时我们会这么做的。我们认真对待证据披露义务。”
巴兰坦随后表示,美国检察官办公室尚未准备好在公开法庭上讨论他们目前从调查中获取的文件。
听证会结束后,美国检察官办公室将原本准备在法庭上展示的视频和照片提交至法院记录,并发布在了社交媒体上。
他们在给法官的一封信中表示,司法部“现已正式完成案卷归档”。

A federal judge privately admonished prosecutors for attempting to grandstand Thursday at a detention hearing for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman, according to a transcript obtained by CNN.
“I don’t know what’s going on here. I know that you want to present your case, I guess, to some audience other than the Court,” Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya told three prosecutors in the courtroom on Thursday out of earshot of the public and press. “I don’t want this to turn into a circus.”
Upadhyaya’s comments highlight a dynamic that has arisen in the six days since Cole Tomas Allen was taken into custody after a federal agent shot at him — with Trump administration officials aggressively describing their theory of the alleged attempted assassination of the president in news interviews and unsolicited court filings.
Several times, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro and others in television interviews have gone much further and given more definitive descriptions of the shooting than the detail that’s been represented in court from the FBI and Justice Department line prosecutors.

Secret Service Director Sean M. Curran on Thursday said Allen shot an officer at point-blank range. Pirro said on Fox News Thursday he fired at the Secret Service officer. Court filings describing the events have been less definitive.
At the hearing on Thursday, prosecutors were prepared in court to show new video and photos they had of the shooting, Allen’s weapons and of the hotel crime scene. Upadhyaya stopped them from doing this in court, because it was not needed after Allen’s lawyers said he agreed to remain detained while he awaited trial, she ruled.
Appearing annoyed, the judge then called the prosecutors and defense team to the bench to speak with them privately, where the judge continued to call out the Justice Department’s approach.
The exchange also highlights how early and incomplete the investigation still is.

“We’re five days into this investigation,” prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine responded to the judge, according to the transcript. “As soon as we have finalized reports and discovery” — meaning evidence that the defense team can review — “that we’re in a position to be able to accurately provide to counsel, we will be doing that. We take our discovery obligations seriously.”
Ballantine then says the US Attorney’s Office wasn’t ready to discuss in open court the documents they have so far from the investigation.
Following the hearing, the US Attorney’s Office put into the court record and posted on social media the videos and photos they had prepared.
They said, in a letter to the judge, the Justice Department “now formally completes the record.”
