，指控飞指其与获取数百万纳税人资金的法律团体关系密切 高级特朗普官员正在反戈一击，针对总统颇具争议的盟友劳拉·卢默，质疑她对一项可能让其律师“朋友”从纳税人手中捞取数十亿美元的法律交易感兴趣。
Trump favorite Laura Loomer goes to war with his own DOJ as allegations fly around her close connection to legal group netting millions in taxpayer cash Senior Trump officials are turning on the President’s controversial ally Laura Loomer, raising questions about her interest in a legal deal that could net her lawyer ‘friend’ billions in taxpayer dollars.
唐纳德·特朗普总统定于周二在北卡罗来纳州举行中期选举集会，这促使这位右翼激进分子再次在网上猛烈抨击司法部（DOJ），指责其向勒琼营地污染受害者提出“侮辱性的低价报价”。
President Donald Trump is due to hold a midterm rally in North Carolina Tuesday, which has caused the right-wing provocateur to issue yet another blistering online attack against the Department of Justice (DOJ) for its ‘insulting lowball offers’ to the Camp Lejeune contamination victims.
特朗普政府消息人士向《每日邮报》透露，在卢默攻击负责为司法部处理此案的官员之际，他们对她在该问题上的行动主义提出了质疑。
Trump administration sources raised questions to the Daily Mail about Loomer’s activism on the issue amid her attacks on the official leading the case for the DOJ.
“她听起来像是站在受害者一边，实际上她站的是试图从受害者口袋里掏钱的律师那一边，”一位消息人士声称。
’She makes it sound like she’s siding with the victims when in fact she’s siding with the lawyers that are trying to take money out of the victims' pockets,’ one source claimed.
1975年至1985年驻扎在勒琼营地的军事人员，患多种癌症的风险比驻扎在其他地方的人员高出至少20%，这归因于长期接触污染水源的有毒化学物质。
Military personnel stationed at Camp Lejeune from 1975 to 1985 were found to have at least a 20 percent higher risk for a number of cancers than those stationed elsewhere, attributable to long-term exposure to toxic chemicals that contaminated the water supply.
患病人员指责海军陆战队未能保护其人员健康，并批评联邦政府调查迟缓。
People who got sick have accused the Marine Corps of failing to protect the health of its personnel and criticized the federal government for being slow to investigate.
自2022年国会通过《勒琼营地司法法案》允许受害者向政府寻求赔偿以来，该污染事件引发了一波诉讼浪潮。
The contamination has spawned a wave of litigation since 2022 when Congress passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, allowing victims to seek compensation from the government.
“司法部和副部长斯坦利·伍德沃德批准的和解案件比历届政府加起来还要多3780起，金额多出8.6亿美元，”司法部一名发言人告诉《每日邮报》。“我们与白宫和战争部在保护退伍军人问题上步调一致。”
“The Department of Justice and Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward approved 3,780 more settlements for $860 million more than previous administrations combined," a spokesperson for the DOJ told the Daily Mail. "We are in lock step with the White House and Department of War on protecting our veterans.”
北卡罗来纳州勒琼营水源过去受到污染，自2022年国会通过《勒琼营司法法案》允许受害者向政府寻求赔偿以来，引发了一波诉讼潮。代表寻求赔偿的40万人中约8万人的凯勒·波斯特曼律师事务所（Keller Postman LLC）原本寻求从任何和解金中抽取40%作为律师费，但被司法部驳回，将律师费上限限制为其一半。现在，为司法部辩护的官员正在质疑卢默在这一问题上的行动。
Past contamination of the water supply at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina triggered a wave of litigation since 2022 when Congress passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, which allowed victims to seek compensation from the government Keller Postman LLC, which represents approximately 80,000 of the 400,000 people seeking compensation, was seeking to keep 40 percent of any settlement for themselves but was rebuffed by the DOJ that capped lawyer fees to half that. Now officials defending the DOJ are questioning Loomer’s activism on the subject.
卢默在接受《每日邮报》采访时否认因她的努力而获得报酬，但承认过去曾与该案凯勒·波斯特曼的主办律师合作过。
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Loomer denied she is being compensated for her efforts but acknowledged she has worked in the past with Keller Postman’s lead attorney in the case.
“我没有因这个项目从凯勒那里收到任何报酬，但我过去曾协助阿什利·凯勒完成过其他项目，”卢默告诉《每日邮报》。“我和阿什利是朋友，认识两年左右了。”
'I have not received any compensation from Keller with regards to this project but I have assisted Ashley Keller with previous projects,’ Loomer told the Daily Mail. 'I’m friends with Ashley and have known Ashley for two years or so.’
“我过去曾协助阿什利·凯勒完成过其他项目吗？是的，我协助过。而阿什利·凯勒代表了许多勒琼营受害者。”凯勒·波斯特曼也否认卢默正在领取报酬。“我们无法部署劳拉，”阿什利·凯勒告诉《每日邮报》。
'Have I assisted Ashley Keller on previous projects in the past? Yeah, I have. And Ashley Keller is representing a lot of these Camp Lejeune victims.’Keller Postman also denied Loomer is getting paid. ‘We are not capable of deploying Laura,’ Ashley Keller told the Daily Mail.
“她代表她自己发言。我们当然全心全意同意她的观点，即政府应当照顾那些服役过的人，而他们没有这样做，这令我们感到费解。但我们将在法庭上维护我们当事人的权利。”
‘She speaks for herself. We of course agree with her wholeheartedly that the administration should take care of those who served, and it's perplexing to us that they have not. But we will vindicate our clients' rights in court.’
在唐纳德·特朗普总统周二前往北卡罗来纳州格林维尔访问之际，极右翼挑衅者卢默对司法部发起了猛烈抨击，涉及一项与该州勒琼营有关的待定法律和解。卢默将矛头指向了副司法部长斯坦利·伍德沃德，后者仅在几个月前刚接管司法部的和解进程，卢默抨击这位特朗普任命的官员是“极左派”民主党人。
消息人士称，凯勒·波斯特曼律师事务所于2025年夏季聘请了“让美国再次伟大”阵营律师约翰·劳罗起诉司法部，但司法部毫不退让。
Ahead of President Donald Trump's visit on Tuesday to Greenville, North Carolina, far-right provocateur Loomer issued a blistering attack on the DOJ over a pending legal settlement tied to the state's Camp Lejeune Loomer has targeted Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, who took control of the settlement process for DOJ just a few months back, blasting the Trump-appointed official as a ‘far left’ Democrat Keller Postman hired MAGA lawyer John Lauro to sue the DOJ in the summer of 2025, but DOJ didn’t budge, sources say.
“司法部叫破了他们的虚张声势，让他们去起诉，”一名司法部官员告诉《每日邮报》。“他们从未起诉。”
’The DOJ called their bluff and told them to sue,’ a DOJ official told the Daily Mail. 'They never did.'
与此同时，北卡罗来纳州的联邦法官拒绝了该律所加入原告领导小组（PLG）的渴望席位，该小组负责管理和解谈判，成员有权分享法院将设立的用于支付其工作的“共同利益基金”。这笔储备金可能高达数十亿美元。
Meanwhile, federal judges in the Tar Heel State denied the firm a coveted spot on the Plaintiffs' Leadership Group (PLG), which manages settlement talks and entitles members to share in a ‘common benefit fund’ that the court will set aside to pay for their efforts. That reserve could amount to billions of additional dollars.
凯勒·波斯特曼律所已为约350名客户达成和解，净得9400万美元。绝大多数案件仍在审理中，因为双方正在寻求“全球性”解决。
Keller Postman has already obtained settlements for about 350 clients, netting $94 million. The lion’s share of cases are pending as the parties seek a ‘global’ settlement.
在凯勒·波斯特曼律所与司法部的直接谈判难以取得进展后，卢默作为波斯特曼的及时盟友出现，在社交媒体上施加压力。卢默去年秋天发表了她似乎是关于此案的首份声明。
After Keller Postman struggled to make progress in direct talks with the DOJ, Loomer appeared as a well-timed ally to Postman to exert pressure on social media. Loomer made what appeared to be her first statement on the case last fall.
然后在今年4月，这位33岁的激进分子将战火烧到了副司法部长斯坦利·伍德沃德身上——距离他接管司法部和解进程仅两个月。
Then in April of this year, the 33-year-old flame-thrower took the fight to Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward – just two months after he took control of the settlement process for DOJ.
随着勒琼营群体侵权案首场审判将于下周开始，她近几周加大了言辞攻击力度。
She has ratcheted up her verbal attacks in recent weeks, as the first trial in the Lejeune mass tort begins next week.
近年来几个月来一直对该事件直言不讳的卢默，本周早些时候敦促特朗普确保勒琼营诉讼“立即进入他的视野”。卢默直指要害，宣称这位特朗普任命的官员是一名“极左派”民主党人。
Loomer, who has been vocal about the saga in recent months, urged Trump earlier this week to ensure the Camp Lejeune litigation is 'put on his radar immediately' Loomer went straight for the political jugular, declaring the Trump-appointed official a ‘far left’ Democrat.
她推动达成一项远超司法部目前报价的快速和解，指责伍德沃德导致拖延、压低报价、轻视受害者痛苦，并破坏总统援助退伍军人的意愿。
Pushing for a quick settlement far greater than the DOJ is offering, she accused Woodward of causing the delay, lowballing offers, belittling victim suffering and sabotaging the president's desire to aid veterans.
“特朗普总统明天将在北卡罗来纳州举行集会，这件事必须立即进入他的视野，”卢默周一晚在其拥有190万粉丝的X账号上发帖称。
‘President Trump will be in North Carolina for a rally tomorrow, and this needs to be put on his radar immediately,’ Loomer posted to her 1.9 million X followers Monday night.
“民主党人将会说，是他的司法部坑害了生病的美国海军陆战队员及其家庭，而斯坦利·伍德沃德正把这把弹药拱手送给民主党人，”她继续写道。
’The Democrats will say that it was HIS DOJ that screwed over sick US Marines and their families, and Stanley Woodward is handing the Democrats that ammunition on a silver platter,’ she continued.
“他是第二届特朗普政府最糟糕的任命之一，”她写道。“但我早就试图警告大家了。”在一串帖子中，卢默分享了凯勒·波斯特曼律师事务所多名当事人令人震惊的医疗遭遇，消息人士称所用细节疑似由该律所“投喂”提供。
‘He has got to be one of the WORST hires of the second Trump administration,’ she wrote. ‘But, I tried to warn people.’In one thread, Loomer shared the horrifying medical sagas of several Keller Postman clients, using specifics sources say appear to be spoon-fed by the firm.
卢默为自己在此案中的维权辩护，称她有朋友的家人是勒琼营污染事件的受害者，她热衷于让受害者获得巨额赔偿。
Loomer defended her advocacy in this case, saying she has friends with family members who were victims of the Lejeune contamination and is passionate about getting victims substantial payouts.
她表示，还邀请了凯勒及一些勒琼营受害者上她的播客节目讨论此案。
She said she’s also invited Keller and some of the Lejeune victims on her podcast to discuss the case.
“当为总统工作的无能之辈不愿为自己的行为负责、转而攻击我时，我已经习以为常了，”卢默说。“白宫高级官员甚至告诉我，他们认为斯坦利处理此事的方式糟透了，完全搞砸了。”
'I’m used to incompetent people who work for the president attacking me when they don’t want to take responsibility for their own actions,’ Loomer said. 'Senior White House officials even tell me that they think Stanley’s handling of this has been atrocious and that he’s completely fumbled the ball.’
9月下旬，北卡罗来纳州的联邦法官们发出了似乎是针对“外部”律师的警告信号。
In late September, the federal judges in North Carolina fired what appeared to be a warning shot at 'outside' lawyers.
在法庭文件中，他们提醒案件中的律师，原告领导小组的职责是推动达成和解，并且可以对任何采取“阻碍、破坏或以其他方式对和解努力产生有害影响”行动的外部律师实施制裁。周一，该小组首席律师埃德·贝尔接受《每日邮报》采访时，为伍德沃德进行了辩护。
In court papers, they reminded lawyers in the case that it’s the job of the Plaintiffs’ Leadership Group to pursue a settlement and that sanctions can be imposed against any outside lawyers who take actions that ‘impede, undermine, or otherwise have a deleterious effect on the settlement efforts.’Speaking with the Daily Mail Monday, attorney Ed Bell, lead counsel for the group, offered a defense of Woodward.
“每个人都知道这是一个非常令人悲伤的案件，但专门针对斯坦利·伍德沃德并指责他导致延误，这根本不符合事实，”贝尔对我们说。“他与我和其他人合作解决此事，做得非常出色。”
‘Everyone knows this is a very sad case, but to specifically target Stanley Woodward and blame him for the delay is simply just not true,’ Bell told us. ’He has done an extraordinary job in working with me and others to get this matter resolved.'
司法部迄今已支付约10亿美元，解决了近4000起索赔，绝大多数是在特朗普政府期间解决的。
The DOJ has already paid out roughly $1 billion to settle nearly 4,000 claims to date, the vast majority under the Trump administration.
司法部和原告律师必须在10月30日前提出解决所有未决诉讼和损害索赔的框架。
The DOJ and plaintiffs’ attorneys have until October 30 to come up with a framework for settling all outstanding lawsuits and damage claims.
