加州民主党籍众议员罗伯特·加西亚有望出任众议院监督委员会主席,他在一段新视频中警告唐纳德·特朗普总统及其盟友要“请好律师”。
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., poised to lead the House Oversight Committee, warned President Donald Trump and his allies to "lawyer up" in a new video.
加西亚承诺将对涉嫌腐败的特朗普家族企业、加密货币项目、五角大楼合同以及移民执法展开全面调查。
Garcia promised sweeping investigations into alleged corruption involving the Trump family's businesses, cryptocurrency ventures, Pentagon contracts and immigration enforcement.
民主党将于1月接管众议院控制权,这赋予了他们发出传票和强制作证的权力,以便在加强对特朗普政府审查的过程中行使这些权力。
Democrats will take control of the House in January, giving them the power to issue subpoenas and compel testimony as they ramp up scrutiny of the Trump administration.
这位有望领导实权的众议院监督委员会的加州民主党籍众议员罗伯特·加西亚周五在发布的一段视频中重申了对特朗普总统及其盟友的警告,承诺将对政府展开全面调查。
Rep. Robert Garcia, the California Democrat poised to lead the powerful House Oversight Committee, doubled down on his warning to President Donald Trump and his allies Friday, releasing a video promising sweeping investigations into the administration.
“监督委员会民主党人已准备好对付骗子、骗徒和特朗普犯罪家族。请好律师吧,”这位加州民主党人写道。“美国人民已经发声,他们厌倦了从这座白宫和特朗普总统治下涌现出的前所未有的腐败程度,”加西亚在视频中说道,视频结尾以“请好律师”几个大字铺满屏幕。
"Oversight Democrats are ready to take on the crooks, the con men and the Trump crime family. Lawyer up," the California Democrat wrote on "The American people have spoken, and they are tired of the unprecedented level of corruption coming out of this White House and under President Trump," Garcia said in the video, which ends with the words "LAWYER UP" splashed across the screen.
这一警告发布于民主党在中期选举中大获全胜、夺得众议院控制权三天后。新一届国会于1月召开时,民主党将掌握该委员会的传票权力,从而能够在可能针对特朗普、其家族及其盟友的调查中强制作证和获取文件。
The warning comes three days after Democrats' sweeping midterm victories handed them control of the House. When the new Congress convenes in January, Democrats will gain control of the committee's subpoena power, allowing them to compel testimony and obtain documents in investigations that could target Trump, his family and his allies.
加西亚表示,该委员会将调查他所描述的涉及特朗普家族商业交易、加密货币项目和五角大楼合同的潜在腐败行为,以及移民与海关执法局(ICE)涉嫌的滥职行为。他还誓言将审查据称与已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦有关联的个人。“监督委员会民主党人绝对将确保我们调查每一个此类案例,”加西亚说。“现在,让我们开始工作吧。”
Garcia said the committee would investigate what he described as potential corruption involving the Trump family's business dealings cryptocurrency ventures and Pentagon contracts, as well as alleged abuses by Immigration and Customs Enforcement He also vowed to scrutinize individuals he said were connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein "Oversight Democrats are absolutely going to ensure that we investigate every single one of these instances," Garcia said. "Now let's get to work." Garcia's approach may conflict with what some advisors are telling Democrats— to go after corporate interests rather than Trump and his family.
加西亚的做法可能与一些顾问给民主党人的建议相冲突——即针对企业利益而非特朗普及其家族。
Garcia, currently the committee's top Democrat, formally launched his bid to become chairman Thursday. He is widely expected to secure the position.
加西亚目前是该委员会的民主党首席议员,周四正式宣布竞选主席一职。他普遍被认为将获得该职位。
The White House has dismissed Democrats' planned investigations as politically motivated, setting up a potentially contentious showdown between the Trump administration and the incoming Democratic congressional majority.
白宫将民主党计划的调查斥为出于政治动机,为特朗普政府与即将上任的民主党控制的国会多数派之间可能爆发的激烈对抗奠定了基础。白宫未立即回应CNBC的置评请求。
The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
