美国司法部近日向费城极左派地区检察官拉里·克拉斯纳的办公室发出了大陪审团传票，福克斯新闻获悉。
The Justice Department sent grand jury subpoenas to far-left Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's office in recent days, Fox News has learned.
两名知情人士表示，这些传票与潜在的妨碍司法公正有关，涉及克拉斯纳办公室在联邦法官面前处理案件的方式。消息人士称，传票的发出源于一名联邦法官将克拉斯纳及其首席副手移交司法部，以进行可能的刑事调查。克拉斯纳办公室未立即回应置评请求。司法部拒绝置评。
Two sources briefed on the subpoenas say they are related to potential obstruction of justice relating to the handling of cases before federal judges. The sources said the subpoenas came as a result of a federal judge referring Krasner and his top deputy to the DOJ for possible criminal investigation. Krasner's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The DOJ declined to comment.
早在一个多月前，美国地区法官保罗·戴蒙德就已将克拉斯纳及其副手马修·斯蒂格勒移交司法部，称在一起谋杀定罪案中发现的证据可能构成虚假陈述、伪证、妨碍司法公正和共谋。两人均未被起诉。
Reports of the subpoenas come more than a month after U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond referred Krasner and his deputy, Matthew Stiegler, to the DOJ, saying evidence uncovered in a murder conviction case could constitute false statements, perjury, obstruction of justice and conspiracy. Neither man has been charged.
戴蒙德还取消了克拉斯纳和斯蒂格勒在该案中的资格，但拒绝取消整个地区检察官办公室的资格。
Diamond also disqualified Krasner and Stiegler from the case but declined to disqualify the entire DA's office.
法官指控克拉斯纳和斯蒂格勒试图施压检察官向法庭呈报虚假叙事，并称克拉斯纳警告如果员工向法庭通报内部冲突将面临“后果”。
The judge alleged Krasner and Stiegler sought to pressure prosecutors into presenting a false narrative to the court and that Krasner warned of "consequences" if staff alerted the court to an internal conflict.
戴蒙德写道：“我因此不情愿地得出结论：费城最高执法官员及其顶级助手之一可能已触犯法律。”
"I have thus reluctantly concluded that Philadelphia’s highest law enforcement official and one of his top assistants may have violated the law," Diamond wrote.
这场纠纷源于丹尼斯·约翰逊一案，约翰逊因杀害肯亚塔·史密斯于2009年被定罪。
The dispute stems from the case of Dennis Johnson, who was convicted in 2009 of killing Kenyatta Smith.
据美联社报道，地区检察官办公室在2022年的一份文件中称，约翰逊因律师提供无效协助而有权获得人身保护令救济。
The DA’s office said in a 2022 filing that Johnson was entitled to habeas relief based on ineffective assistance of counsel, according to The Associated Press. Prosecutors later raised potential conflicts involving Stiegler and urged that the matter be referred to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office.
随后，检察官提出了涉及斯蒂格勒的潜在利益冲突，并敦促将该事项移交宾夕法尼亚州总检察长办公室处理。
According to the opinion, Krasner opposed that move and repeatedly said someone from his office needed to remain involved to "protect the office."
根据该意见书，克拉斯纳反对这一举措，并多次表示，其办公室必须有人继续参与，以“保护办公室”。
"I respectfully and vigorously disagree with the court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law," Krasner said in a statement at the time.
克拉斯纳当时在一份声明中说：“我恭敬且强烈地不同意法院的事实认定和法律结论。我期待在法律允许的情况下尽快向上级法院提起上诉。这仍是一项待决事项，目前限制了我和我的办公室在媒体上作出回应。”
"I look forward to appealing to the higher court as soon as the law allows. This remains a pending matter, which limits for now my and my office’s ability to respond in the media." Check back soon for updates.
