唐纳德·特朗普总统在最近的一次采访中表示，他正在考虑在第二个任期结束前主动赦免自己政府中的某些官员。“当然，我会这么做的，”他在接受《时代》杂志采访时说道。当被要求进一步解释时，特朗普提到了乔·拜登总统在任期结束时曾主动赦免了许多曾在其政府中任职的人。“这对许多共和党人来说是个令人失望的决定，”特朗普说。“拜登对所有人都给予了赦免——包括安东尼·福奇博士，以及那些参与调查2021年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件的议员和工作人员。”
President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he’s considering pre-emptively pardoning members of his administration before the end of his second term. “Yeah, sure I’d do that,” he said in an interview this week with Time magazine, which published a transcript of the conversation Thursday. Asked to further elaborate, Trump referenced how President Joe Biden pre-emptively pardoned a slew of people who worked in his administration at the end of his presidency. “It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans,” Trump said. “Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I’m not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe’s allowed to give them?”
《华尔街日报》曾报道称，特朗普多次承诺在卸任前会赦免他的高级政府官员；据报道，他在一次会议上曾说：“我会赦免所有曾进入椭圆形办公室（Oval Office）200英尺范围内的人。”该报道还指出，特朗普去年曾告诉自己的顾问们，他会在卸任前召开新闻发布会并宣布大规模赦免计划。
Biden had done so in an effort to protect people that Trump had threatened during the 2024 presidential campaign, including former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley; Dr. Anthony Fauci; and lawmakers and staffers of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. In April, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had repeatedly promised his top administration officials pardons before he leaves office, citing people who had heard his comments.
在《时代》杂志的采访中，特朗普被问及如何应对共和党在中期选举中失去众议院多数席位的情况。他回答说：“他们可能会针对我采取行动，而我也会反击他们。”民主党方面则表示，如果他们重新掌控众议院，他们的首要任务将是改善医疗保健体系，包括废除特朗普执政期间实施的医疗补助削减政策，并延长《奥巴马医改》（Obamacare）中的税收优惠措施（这些优惠措施在去年到期后未能得到国会续期）。
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump said in a meeting, according to the report, which also said that he had told advisers last year that he would host a news conference and announce mass pardons before he leaves office. In Time’s interview, Trump was asked how he is preparing for the scenario of Republicans losing the House majority in the midterm elections. “They’ll probably go after me and I’ll go after them,” Trump said. Democrats have said that if they win back control of the House, their top priority would be focused on healthcare, including reversing Medicaid cuts implemented under Trump and extending Obamacare tax credits that Congress didn’t approve a continuation of when they expired last year.
众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯近期表示，若民主党在众议院占据多数席位，将对特朗普政府进行强有力的监督，并“肯定会努力追究这些罪犯的责任”。杰弗里斯有可能成为下一任众议院议长。众议院拥有弹劾官员和认定其藐视国会的权力，但无权提起刑事诉讼。在11月5日选举日之后，众议院已计划就弹劾国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯的决议进行表决，尽管该决议是由特朗普的激烈批评者、肯塔基州共和党众议员托马斯·马西提出的。
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who could become the next speaker of the House, recently said that a House Democratic majority would conduct aggressive oversight of the Trump administration and “certainly will fight to hold the crooks accountable.”The House has the power to impeach officials and to hold them in contempt of Congress, but doesn’t have the power to bring criminal charges. The House is already slated after Election Day to vote on a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, though that was introduced by fierce Trump critic Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
去年上任的第一天，特朗普向约1500名因2021年1月6日国会大厦遇袭事件被起诉的被告颁发了赦免令和减刑令。此后，根据司法部编制的一份名单，他又向其他约170名被判有罪的罪犯颁发了赦免令和减刑令。在特朗普第一任期的最后一天，他向143人授予了宽恕，其中包括他的前首席策略师和长期盟友史蒂夫·班农。班农此前被起诉犯有电汇欺诈和洗钱共谋罪，但尚未接受审判。
On the first day in office last year, Trump had issued pardons and commutations to roughly 1,500 defendants who were charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Since then, he has issued about 170 pardons and commutations to other individuals convicted of crimes, according to a list compiled by the Justice Department. On the last day of Trump’s first term in office, he granted clemency to 143 people, including his former chief strategist and longtime ally Steve Bannon, who had been indicted on wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges but had not yet faced a trial.
