预计在未来几周内,联邦法官将裁定唐纳德·特朗普能否成为首位通过出售政府相关信息提前访问权来谋取个人利益的美国总统。
Likely in the next few weeks, a federal judge will decide if Donald Trump can become the first president to personally profit from selling early access to government information in his social media posts.
在周三的听证会上,司法部民事律师布兰特利·迈尔斯辩称,特朗普每月收取最高10万美元的费用,以提供即时访问Truth Social帖子的权限,这些帖子经常发布其政府的重要消息,这一行为并不存在任何利益冲突。
At a hearing Wednesday, Department of Justice civil attorney Brantley Mayers argued that there was no conflict whatsoever with Trump charging up to $100,000 monthly for instant API access to Truth Social posts that often break news from his administration.
特朗普是特朗普媒体与技术集团的最大股东及控股股东,该集团是Truth Social的母公司,而这种API访问权限的价值在很大程度上源于特朗普作为总统的身份。
Trump is the largest stakeholder and majority owner of Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company that owns Truth Social, and the value of the API access comes largely from Trump’s role as president.
