华盛顿，5月29日（路透社）—— 美国一名法官周五临时阻止特朗普政府设立近18亿美元基金，用于补偿特朗普所称的遭政府“政治迫害”的受害者。
美国弗吉尼亚州东区联邦地区法官莱奥妮·布林克马的这份裁决阻止特朗普政府“采取任何进一步行动”设立或运营该基金，直至法官听取额外法律辩论。该禁令至少将持续至6月12日。

美国司法部上周宣布设立“反政治迫害基金”，作为特朗普就国税局泄露其税务记录提起的诉讼达成和解协议的一部分。
该基金规模达17.76亿美元，将由一个五人委员会监督，向那些证明自己是“法律战”和“政治迫害”受害者的人发放赔偿——特朗普及其盟友用这两个词形容针对他们的调查和刑事诉讼。
周五的裁决源于一起诉讼，原告方声称自己“被特朗普-万斯政府视为意识形态或政治对手而 targeted”，并指控他们将无法获得该基金的赔偿。
“这是透明、法治和美国人民的胜利，”提起诉讼的反特朗普组织“民主前进”负责人斯凯·佩里曼说道。“任何政府都无权通过政治奖励计划动用公款。”
美国司法部发言人未立即回应置评请求。代理司法部长托德·布兰奇曾表示，获得赔偿的资格没有党派要求。
该基金引发了强烈反对，甚至包括特朗普所在共和党内部的一些议员，他们对2021年1月6日袭击美国国会大厦的部分人员可能获得纳税人资金赔偿感到愤怒。该基金被广泛嘲讽为将奖励特朗普政治盟友的“黑金账户”。
“民主前进”提起的诉讼是至少三起挑战该基金设立的诉讼之一。
布林克马表示，发布临时禁令对于维持现状、防止在她考虑原告提出的临时限制令请求前资金被“不可逆地拨付”是必要的。
该诉讼团体包括一名曾起诉国会山骚乱参与者的前司法部检察官，以及一名在抗议移民突袭行动时被捕的加州教授。

- Summary
- Judge Leonie Brinkema halts fund pending further legal arguments
- Fund intended to compensate victims of alleged government ‘weaponization’
- Critics, including Republicans, object to payouts for Capitol rioters
WASHINGTON, May 29 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge on Friday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from setting up a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate victims of what Trump has called government “weaponization.”
The
order, opens new tab
by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia blocks the Trump administration from “taking any further action” to set up or operate the fund while the judge hears additional legal arguments. The order will remain in effect at least until June 12.

The Justice Department announced the creation of an “Anti-Weaponization Fund” last week as part of an agreement to settle Trump’s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax records.
It set up a $1.776 billion fund overseen by a five-member commission to dole out payments to those who show they were victims of “lawfare” and “weaponization,” terms Trump and his allies have used to describe investigations and criminal cases against them.
Friday’s ruling came in a lawsuit filed by a group who claimed to be targeted “by the Trump-Vance administration as ideological or political opponents” and alleged they would be ineligible for payouts from the fund.
“This is a victory for transparency, the rule of law, and the American people,” said Skye Perryman, the head of Democracy Forward, the anti-Trump group that brought the lawsuit. “No administration has the authority to spend public money through a political rewards program.”
A Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has said there are no partisan requirements on who is eligible for compensation.
The fund spurred a backlash, even from some lawmakers in Trump’s Republican Party, who expressed anger that some people who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, could receive taxpayer-funded payouts. It was widely derided as a “slush fund” that would reward Trump’s political allies.
Democracy Forward’s lawsuit is one of at least three challenging the creation of the fund.
Brinkema said the temporary order was necessary to maintain the status quo and prevent funds from being “irreversibly disbursed” before she considered the plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order against the fund.
The group suing includes a former DOJ prosecutor who prosecuted January 6 rioters and a California professor who was arrested while protesting an immigration raid.
