- 针对杰伊·克莱顿的国家情报总监提名确认听证会被取消，直至詹姆斯·麦克唐纳获批担任美国检察官
- 特朗普表示，比尔·普尔特将在此期间继续担任代理国家情报总监
- 特朗普称，若《拯救美国法案》未获通过，他不会批准《外国情报监控法》延期
6月17日（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普当地时间周三表示，原定于当天举行的、针对杰伊·克莱顿出任下一届美国情报总监的参议院提名听证会已被取消，且在詹姆斯·麦克唐纳获批担任美国检察官之前，该提名程序不会推进。
上周，特朗普提名美国南区纽约联邦检察官克莱顿出任下一任情报总监，这一提名引发了围绕比尔·普尔特的政治风波——普尔特是特朗普的坚定支持者，被特朗普任命临时填补该职位。

随后，特朗普提名詹姆斯·麦克唐纳接替克莱顿，出任美国南区纽约联邦检察官，该职位是全美权力最大的检察官岗位之一。
麦克唐纳需要参议院批准才能正式担任该职务，特朗普周三表示，在麦克唐纳就职前，他不会解除克莱顿的现有职务。
特朗普称，普尔特将在此期间继续担任代理国家情报总监。
他表示，共和党曾与民主党达成协议，以罢免普尔特的代理情报总监职务为条件，换取民主党批准《外国情报监控法》（FISA）延期。
“然而，共和党在推进伟大的杰伊·克莱顿提名听证会时动作过快，导致民主党还未就《外国情报监控法》进行投票，普尔特就会被撤换，”他称，如今民主党表示将投票反对《外国情报监控法》延期。

“实际上这并不复杂，共和党掉进了一个陷阱，”他说道。
特朗普还重申，若他的《拯救美国法案》未同时获得通过，他不会批准《外国情报监控法》延期，该法案将要求投票者提供公民身份证明。
国会上周否决了特朗普提出的外国监控权力短期延期提案，双方在特朗普对普尔特的任命问题上陷入僵局。部分议员还反对任何情况下延长《外国情报监控法》的有效期。
特朗普周日曾表示，他反对任何不包含《拯救美国法案》内容的《外国情报监控法》延期提案。这项选民身份证明法案与《外国情报监控法》并无关联，但特朗普称，在该法案通过前，他不会签署任何其他立法。

- Summary
- Clayton confirmation hearing for DNI canceled until James McDonald gets approval as US attorney
- Bill Pulte will remain acting director of national intelligence in the meantime, Trump says
- Trump said he will not approve a FISA renewal without his Save America Act
June 17 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said Wednesday’s Senate hearing on Jay Clayton’s nomination to become the next U.S. spy chief was canceled and would not go forward until James McDonald is confirmed as a U.S. Attorney.
Last week, Trump nominated Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the next spy chief amid a political firestorm over Bill Pulte, a fierce loyalist whom Trump picked to fill the role on a temporary basis.

He then nominated James McDonald to replace Clayton as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, one of the most powerful prosecutors in the country.
McDonald needs Senate approval to serve in the role and Trump said on Wednesday that he did not want to remove Clayton from his post until McDonald was in place.
The president said that Pulte would remain as acting Director of National Intelligence in the meantime.
He said Republicans had agreed with the Democrats to remove Pulte as acting spy chief in return for the approval of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
“However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton … that Pulte would be gone before the (Democrats) would vote on FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act),” he said, claiming that Democrats now say they would vote against FISA.

“Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap,” he said.
Trump also reiterated that he would not approve the renewal of FISA without his Save America Act passing along with it, which would require proof of citizenship for voting.
Congress last week rejected a short-term extension of foreign surveillance powers sought by Trump amid a standoff over his selection of Pulte. Some lawmakers also oppose an extension of FISA under any circumstances.
Trump on Sunday said he opposed any renewal of FISA that does not include his Save America Act. The voter identification bill has no relation to FISA. But Trump has said that he would not sign any other legislation until the measure is passed.
