迈阿密讯——共和党籍州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯周四在迈阿密就上诉法院关于一份被泄露的大陪审团报告的裁决进行了一场“庆功”,一天前,上诉法院裁定该报告本不该发布。
The GOP governor took a victory lap in Miami over an appeals court decision regarding a leaked grand jury report. MIAMI —Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday called for the prosecution of the people behind a leaked grand jury report that was sharply critical of the Hope Florida scandal, a day after an appeals court ruled the report should never have been issued.
在大迈阿密高速公路管理局举行的新闻发布会上,德桑蒂斯发表了讲话并回答了大约一个小时的问题,他辩称这场丑闻是一场“骗局”,并为报告中点名的员工和官员进行辩护,称他们的名誉受到了不当损害。周三,第一地区上诉法院的一个三法官合议庭作出裁决,下令将该报告从公开记录中删除。
In a press conference at the Greater Miami Expressway Agency, DeSantis spoke and took questions for about an hour, arguing that the scandal had been a “hoax” and defending the staffers and officials who’d been named in the report, saying their reputations had been improperly harmed. Wednesday’s ruling, by a three-judge panel on the 1st District Court of Appeal, ordered the report to be expunged from public record.
“我认为不能就这么算了,”德桑蒂斯说,“我认为你需要追究那些泄露此事的人的责任,因为我认为这非常非常严重,而且这是政治性的。”与德桑蒂斯一同出席的还有佛罗里达州总检察长詹姆斯·乌斯迈尔(James Uthmeier),他的名字在大陪审团报告中被多次提及,并正在竞选连任11月的职位。乌斯迈尔表示,执法部门正在调查此案,如果发现违规行为,州检察官或全州检察官可能会对该案提起指控。
“I don’t think you can just say we’re going to just move on,” DeSantis said. “I think you need to hold the people accountable who disclose this because I think it’s been very very serious and it was political.”DeSantis was joined by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, whose name was cited repeatedly in the grand jury report and who is running to keep his seat in November. Uthmeier said that law enforcement was taking a look at the case and that if they find a violation, then state attorneys or the statewide prosecutor could file charges in the case.
