前联邦调查局华盛顿办事处副主任戴夫·桑德伯格（Dave Sundberg）已发起美国国会竞选，指控唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府将司法部武器化。
这位美国众议院候选人指责政府在清除那些不愿执行总统政治目标的人员时解雇了他。
“2025年1月，我被特朗普政府解雇，这是对拒绝执行总统政治议程者的报复性清洗的一部分。虽然他们夺走了我的工作，但无法夺走我的誓言，”他在脸书帖子中宣称。

在竞选网站的新闻稿中，桑德伯格声称：“我目睹白宫将司法部武器化以对付政治对手，并利用国民警卫队恐吓我们自己的公民，同时攫取本应在政府间保持制衡的权力杠杆。”
“我们正面临一个可能无法从中恢复的临界点。我参选是为了确保国会再次成为与行政、司法分支平等的部门，而不是放弃其反击的责任，”他宣称。

桑德伯格正在马里兰州第5国会选区的民主党初选中参选，该席位因民主党众议员斯泰尼·霍耶上月宣布不再寻求连任而空缺。
共和党全国委员会女发言人艾玛·霍尔在向福克斯新闻数字频道提供的声明中表示：“又一个脱离实际的民主党竞选活动，其核心是痴迷地攻击特朗普总统及其压倒性受欢迎的议程，却没有任何降低成本、帮助工薪家庭的计划。”

Former assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington field office Dave Sundberg has mounted a bid for U.S. Congress, accusing President Donald Trump’s administration of weaponizing the Justice Department.
The U.S. House hopeful accused the administration of firing him while sweeping out people who wouldn’t execute the president’s political aims.
“In January 2025, I was fired by the Trump Administration as part of a retaliatory purge against those who refused to carry out the President’s political agenda. While they took my job, they cannot take my oath,” he declared in a Facebook post.

In a press release on his campaign website, Sundberg asserted, “I have watched as the White House has weaponized the Department of Justice against political opponents and used the National Guard to intimidate our own citizens, all while seizing levers of power that are supposed to be balanced across government.”
“We are reaching a point where we may not recover from this. I am running to ensure Congress becomes a co-equal branch of government again and does not abdicate its responsibility to push back,” he declared.

Sundberg is running in the Democratic primary in Maryland’s 5th Congressional District, which is an open contest because Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer announced last month that he will not seek another term.
In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, Republican National Committee spokeswoman Emma Hall said, “Yet another out-of-touch Democrat campaign built on obsessively attacking President Trump and his overwhelmingly popular agenda, without any plans of their own to lower costs and help working families.”
