在周日与CBS电视台《60 Minutes》的联合采访中，特勤局高层详细说明了过去一年针对总统及特勤人员的威胁出现了“大幅增加”的情况。
Secret Service leadership detailed the "massive increase" in threats against the presidency and agents in the past year during a special joint interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday.
“这种情况我们前所未见，”特勤局局长肖恩·柯伦对主持人诺拉·奥唐奈表示，“对我们负责保护的全职总统目标人物的威胁比去年增加了40%以上，增幅确实非常巨大。”柯伦与副局长马特·奎因一起被问及导致威胁增加的原因。柯伦认为互联网的普及是一个重要因素，但奥唐奈怀疑唐纳德·特朗普本人是否也在推动这些威胁的加剧。
"It's like we've never seen before," Secret Service Director Sean Curran told host Norah O'Donnell. "The threats on our full-time protectees are up just over 40% than they were last year. That's a massive increase." Curran, along with Deputy Director Matt Quinn, were questioned as to what they believed caused the rise in threats. Curran suggested that the growth of the internet was a factor, but O'Donnell wondered if President Donald Trump also drove the threats.
“特朗普已成为美国最受攻击的领导人，几乎每个月都会面临新的威胁，”奥唐奈问道。
TRUMP HAS BECOME AMERICA'S MOST TARGETED LEADER, FACING THREATS EVERY FEW MONTHS "President Trump is one of the most polarizing political figures in American history.
“我们是一个中立的组织，我们的职责就是保护那些我们宣誓要保护的人，”柯伦回答道。
Is that in some way leading to the increase in these threats?" O'Donnell asked. "We are an apolitical organization.
“我认为，无论支持还是反对某位总统的人，都会对总统产生极端情绪。目前我们面临的最大问题无疑是人们的心理健康问题——越来越多的人因此而走向极端，”奎因补充道。
We're here to protect who we're sworn to protect," Curran answered. "Look, I would say there's people on both sides of the aisle that either love or hate any president. I think the biggest factor we're dealing with today is mental health issues for sure.
“世界已经与20年前不同了，社交媒体正在改变人们的行为方式，”柯伦指出。
And more people are being pushed over the edge in either direction," Quinn added. "The world is different than what it was 20 years ago.
他们没有明确指出这些威胁是来自左翼还是右翼势力，表示他们并不会按照这种方式来区分威胁的来源；他们同时提到了1月6日国会山骚乱事件以及针对特朗普的暗杀未遂事件所引发的安全担忧。
You know, social media changes people," Curran said. The men also did not clarify whether more threats came from left-wing or right-wing sources, explaining that they do not "weigh" threats in that way, citing concerns from both the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and the assassination attempts against Trump.
柯伦还提到，在2024年针对特朗普的首次暗杀未遂事件中，负责保护他的特勤人员正是他本人；他强调了提前做好防范准备的重要性。
'DECOY' AIR FORCE ONE WAS PROTECTED BY US FIGHTER JETS, OFFICIAL SAYS Curran, who was the lead agent protecting Trump during the first assassination attempt against him in 2024, emphasized the importance of preparation.
奥唐奈随后将这一情况与此前有关特朗普更换专机（空军一号）的报道联系在了一起。
O'Donnell later connected this idea to the reports of Trump's Air Force One plane switch in August. "Look, that's not the first time we've done that.
“看吧，这并不是我们第一次这么做。我们希望那件事没有被报道，因为这夺走了我们再次采取类似行动的一些战术。这当然不是我们第一次做类似的事情，”柯伦说，但他澄清说，他没有说明他们在这次事件之前是否曾使用过诱饵飞机。奎因也为将特工留在诱饵飞机上的程序进行了辩护。
We wish that wasn't reported, 'cause that takes some of our tactics away from being able to do something similar again. Certainly wasn't the first time where we did something like that," Curran said, though he clarified that he did not say whether they had ever used a decoy plane prior to this incident. Quinn also defended the procedure which left agents behind in a decoy plane.
“当你在为美国总统的任何安保团队工作时，无论针对哪位总统，首要任务都是总统。其他所有人，包括随行人员、特工、媒体、参与的人员都不是首要任务，包括我们自己的人员。尽管有些人可能很难理解，但我们的任务就是保护美国总统，”奎因说。
"When you're operating in any protective detail with the President of the United States, for any president, the priority is the president. Everyone else, staff, agents, media, personnel involved are not the priority, including our own personnel. As hard as that may be for some to understand, the mission is to protect the President of the United States," Quinn said.

这次采访是在特勤局面临持续审查之际进行的，此前三名官员已于8月份被停职。
This interview came as the Secret Service faces ongoing scrutiny after three officials were placed on leave in August.
随着联邦调查局对发布有关在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的一场集会上针对特朗普的暗杀未遂事件调查文件的犹豫不决，对总统的保护也受到了审查。
Protection for the president has also come under scrutiny as the FBI hesitates to release documents pertaining to the investigation of the assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
司法观察组织总裁托马斯·菲顿批评了这一缓慢的进程，他的组织曾就与该事件相关的文件起诉美国司法部。
Judicial Watch President Thomas Fitton, whose organization sued the Department of Justice for documents related to the event, criticized the slow process.
“他们告诉我们，按照目前的处理速度，这个过程需要12年。根据联邦调查局的时间表，直到12年后的今天，我们甚至都无法对他们隐瞒的内容提出异议。这显然是不可接受的，我想知道联邦调查局和司法部的领导层对这种立场作何感想，”菲顿对《福克斯新闻数字频道》说。
"They are telling us that, at current processing rates, the process will take 12 years. Under the FBI's timeline, we won't even be able to challenge what they withheld until 12 years from now. That is obviously unacceptable, and I would like to know what leadership at the FBI and DOJ think about that position," Fitton told Fox News Digital.
