一名联邦法官就针对总统唐纳德·特朗普在白宫记者协会晚宴上实施暗杀企图的嫌疑人所发表的道歉言论引发争议,批评者指出其过往存在反特朗普言论。齐亚·法鲁基法官此前曾抨击司法部处理与特朗普相关案件的方式,在2025年9月的一场听证会上,他曾将检方起诉针对这位前总统的威胁行为描述为“令政府难堪”。

福克斯新闻数字频道对其背景进行的审查发现,就科勒·艾伦企图在白宫记者协会晚宴上暗杀总统特朗普一案向嫌疑人道歉的联邦治安法官,此前曾多次尖锐批评特朗普任期内的联邦公诉工作。
“对一名无犯罪记录的嫌疑人采取五点约束措施,这让我感到极其不安,这令人担忧,”治安法官齐亚·法鲁基在谈及嫌疑人科勒·艾伦周一在看守所的待遇时说道,“我从未听说过有任何一名1月6日抗议者被采取五点约束措施或被关进安全牢房。如果唯一能确保他安全的方式就是采取最严厉的惩罚手段,那这本身就是一个问题。”
“至少,我应该向他道歉。我们有义务确保他得到妥善对待。艾伦先生,我为事情没有按理应有的方式发展而道歉,”法鲁基说道。

2020年被任命为美国联邦治安法官的法鲁基,此前曾与华盛顿联邦检察官在特朗普政府时期的执法突击案件中产生过冲突,他指责时任美国检察官吉恩·皮罗的办公室越权,将一些本应在州法院审理的案件提交至联邦法院审理。

法鲁基于2020年由美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院的法官们选出,获得八年联邦治安法官任期。在2020年9月他就职时,法院在职的第三条宪法条款法官共有15名——其中11名由民主党总统任命,4名由共和党总统任命。

他由时任首席法官贝里尔·豪厄尔主持宣誓就职,豪厄尔是奥巴马任命的法官,曾因处理与特朗普相关的案件遭到道德投诉和特朗普盟友的批评。

特朗普及其盟友多次将哥伦比亚特区联邦法院形容为对其政府充满敌意的场所,指责该地区的法官——包括因在备受关注的移民诉讼中激怒特朗普的首席法官詹姆斯·博阿斯伯格——在涉及政治敏感的案件中存在反特朗普偏见。

艾伦的听证会并非法鲁基首次在处理与特朗普相关的威胁案件时遭到联邦检察官的反对。去年,在爱德华·亚历山大·达纳一案中,他与皮罗的办公室产生过争执。达纳被控在因破坏公物罪被警方拘留期间威胁要杀死特朗普,该案最终被驳回。

皮罗当时发表声明指责法鲁基“效忠那些违反法律的人”。

“这位法官宣誓要遵守法律,但他却始终让政治凌驾于其判断力和守法义务之上,”皮罗去年写道,“美国选民投票支持安全社区、法律与秩序,而这位法官与此背道而驰。”

“至少,我应该向他道歉。我们有义务确保他得到妥善对待。艾伦先生,我为事情没有按理应有的方式发展而道歉,”法鲁基说道。(克雷格·哈德逊/《华盛顿邮报》 摄)

当时,法鲁基表示政府应该向达纳道歉,他认为检方仓促起诉和反复驳回案件的行为显示出“太多失误”。法鲁基借此机会宣扬平等理念,并补充称,“像达纳先生这样的人”应该“非常害怕”,称国家已经“越过了宪法危机的临界点”。

法鲁基还曾参与2021年1月6日国会山抗议者冲击国会的相关案件。议员和政治人士纷纷指责法鲁基,称他对1月6日抗议者的关注度远不及对艾伦的关注度。

“奇怪的是,华盛顿特区没有任何一名法官对那些被恶意起诉的1月6日抗议者有过丝毫类似的想法,”小唐纳德·特朗普在X平台上写道。

“作为一名拥有十多年从业经验的前法官,我对这位法官谴责那些只是为了保护这位潜在特朗普暗杀目标的安全而履行职责的执法人员和检察官感到震惊,”佛罗里达州共和党参议员阿什利·穆迪在X平台上写道。

“向企图杀害美国总统及其内阁成员的人道歉并予以纵容,这让整个司法系统都蒙羞,”她补充道,“这位法官根本不配担任法官,更不用说审理此案了。”

“我原本以为这篇关于法官向暗杀者道歉的文章是《巴比伦蜜蜂》(美国讽刺新闻网站)刊发的,”前克林顿民调专家马克·彭恩在X平台上写道。
“这位法官到底是活在哪个星球上?他难道不记得李·哈维·奥斯瓦尔德的下场了吗?他难道不知道现在将他单独关押会对他本人造成危险吗?他难道不明白鉴于艾伦从未指望能在袭击中幸存下来,对其实施自杀监视是完全合理的举措吗?有时候这个世界看起来确实已经完全颠倒了,”彭恩补充道。

艾伦面临包括谋杀未遂和枪支犯罪在内的联邦指控,如果罪名成立,可能面临终身监禁。

A federal judge’s apology to the accused White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooter ignites controversy, with critics citing his past anti-Trump rhetoric. Judge Zia Faruqui previously slammed the Justice Department’s handling of Trump-related cases, once describing their efforts to prosecute a threat against the former president as ’embarrassing for the government’ during a September 2025 hearing.

A federal magistrate judge who apologized to the suspect accused of plotting an assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner has a history as a sharp critic of Trump-era federal prosecutions, a Fox News Digital review of his background found.

“To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history. It’s troubling,” said Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, referring to suspect Cole Allen’s jail treatment on Monday. “I never heard of one Jan. 6 defendant who was put in five-point restraints or in a safe cell. If the only way to keep him safe is the most punitive thing, that’s a problem.”

“At a minimum, I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to,” said Faruqui.

Faruqui, appointed as a U.S. magistrate judge in 2020, has previously clashed with federal prosecutors in Washington over Trump administration law-enforcement surge cases, accusing U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office of overreaching by bringing some matters in federal court that he said belonged in local court.

Faruqui was selected by judges of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to serve an eight-year term as a magistrate judge in 2020. At the time of his September 2020, appointment, the court’s active Article III bench was composed of 15 judges — 11 appointed by Democratic presidents and four appointed by Republican presidents.

He was sworn in by then-Chief Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee who has faced ethics complaints and criticism from Trump allies over her handling of Trump-related matters.

Trump and his allies have repeatedly cast the D.C. federal bench as hostile terrain for the administration, accusing judges in the district — including Chief Judge James Boasberg, who has drawn Trump’s ire in high-profile immigration litigation — of anti-Trump bias in politically charged cases.

The Allen hearing was not the first time Faruqui’s handling of a Trump-related threat case drew backlash from federal prosecutors. Last year, he clashed with Pirro’s office amid the case against Edward Alexander Dana — who was accused of threatening to kill Trump while in police custody on vandalism charges — before it was dismissed.

Pirro issued a statement at the time accusing Faruqui of having an “allegiance to those who violate the law.”

“This judge took an oath to follow the law, yet he has allowed his politics to consistently cloud his judgment and his requirement to follow the law,” Pirro wrote last year. “America voted for safe communities, law and order, and this judge is the antithesis of that.”

“At a minimum, I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to,” said Faruqui.(Craig Hudson/The Washington Post)

At the time, Faruqui said the government owed Dana an apology, arguing the department’s rush to charge and its repeated dismissal of cases showed “too many misfires.” Faruqui used the moment to preach about equality, adding the message that “people who look like Mr. Dana” is to “be very afraid” saying the country is “past the point of constitutional crisis.”

Faruqui also played a role in Jan. 6, 2021, cases, when protesters breached the U.S. Capitol. Lawmakers and political figures called out Faruqui, saying that he did not show the same level of concern for the Jan. 6 protesters as he did for Allen.

“Strange that not a single judge in DC had a thought anywhere close to this for any of the Jan 6 people they maliciously prosecuted,” wrote Donald Trump Jr. on X.

“As a former judge for over a decade, I am appalled by this judge’s condemnation of law enforcement and prosecutors who were simply doing their jobs to address the safety of this would be Trump assassin,” wrote Republican Florida Sen. Ashley Moody on X.

“Apologizing and coddling the man who attempted to kill the President of the United States and his cabinet is embarrassing to the entire judiciary,” she added. “This judge has no business being on the bench let alone on this case.”

“I thought perhaps the article with its headline about the judge apologizing to the assassin was from The Babylon Bee,” wrote former Clinton pollster Mark Penn on X.

“What planet could this judge possibly be on? Does he not remember what happened to Lee Harvey Oswald? Does he not realize that mixing him at this point would be a danger to him? And not realize that putting him on suicide watch was a perfectly realistic action given Allen never expected to survive the attack? Sometimes it just seems like an upside down world,” Penn added.

Allen faces federal charges, including attempted assassination and firearms offenses, and could face life in prison if convicted.
