唐纳德·特朗普呼吁纽约州州长将州检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯从这起发生在康奈尔大学的性侵案件的调查中撤下,从而介入了这起引发全国关注的案件。
Donald Trump called on New York’s governor to remove state Attorney General Letitia James from the investigation into an alleged rape at Cornell University, injecting himself into a case that has drawn national attention.
在周二的一条社交媒体帖子中,特朗普抨击詹姆斯“毫无可信度”,并表示她的介入只会“加剧人们对案件处理方式的愤怒”。他写道:“州长应立即将詹姆斯从该案件中撤下,并另换他人接手调查。”
Trump in a social media post Tuesday assailed James as having “ZERO credibility” and said her involvement in the inquiry would “greatly add to the anguish that everybody feels in viewing how this case is being handled.”“The Governor should take James off this case, IMMEDIATELY, and replace her,” he said.
特朗普长期以来一直与詹姆斯以及民主党籍的州长凯西·霍丘尔存在矛盾。2022年,詹姆斯曾对特朗普及其家族企业提起重大民事欺诈诉讼。尽管上诉法院认定特朗普通过虚报资产价值的行为违反了法律,但仍驳回了对特朗普及其公司处以4.64亿美元罚款的裁决。
Trump has long clashed with James and Governor Kathy Hochul, who are both Democrats. The attorney general brought a major civil fraud suit against him and his family business in 2022. An appeals court eventually threw out a stunning $464 million fraud penalty against Trump and his company even as it upheld a finding that he broke the law by inflating the value of some of his assets.
本月早些时候,霍丘尔任命詹姆斯为特别检察官,负责调查这起备受关注的性侵案件。她表示对当地地方检察官处理该案件的能力失去了信心。
Hochul earlier this month appointed James as a special prosecutor, directing her to take over the high-profile investigation into a woman’s allegations of a gang rape at a Cornell fraternity in 2024. The governor said she had lost faith in the ability of the local district attorney to properly handle the case.
这起涉嫌性侵的事件在康奈尔大学引发了轩然大波,也引发了关于大学应如何处理性侵指控的全国性讨论。
The alleged incident has sparked a firestorm, roiling the Ivy League institution and spurring a national debate over how universities address sexual assault allegations.
在民事诉讼中,一名前学生(法庭文件中被称为“简·多伊”)称自己被该兄弟会成员灌输毒品和酒精后遭到强奸,并声称学校、该兄弟会以及她所属的女生联谊会都未能保护她。
A former student, identified in court papers as Jane Doe, said in a civil lawsuit that she was plied with drugs and alcohol and raped by members of the fraternity. She also claimed the university, the fraternity and her sorority failed to protect her.
特朗普还在移民打击、犯罪和公共安全、拥堵收费等多个问题上与霍楚尔产生分歧,甚至在与加拿大的贸易战中决定将安大略湖更名为“美洲湖”。上周,总统前往纽约为霍楚尔的选举对手、共和党州长候选人、拿骚县行政长官布鲁斯·布拉克曼助选。
Trump has also been at odds with Hochul over a number of issues, including immigration crackdown, crime and public safety, congestion pricing and even his decision to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America” amid a trade war with Canada. The president traveled to New York last week to campaign for Hochul’s election opponent, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the Republican gubernatorial candidate.
