美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周六指责民主党人在中期选举获胜后，以弹劾和监禁相威胁，针对共和党官员、捐赠者和支持者，将所谓行为描述为“最高级别的勒索”。他在自家 Truth Social 平台上发布的一篇长文中声称，民主党政治领袖已向数人发出威胁信，包括司法部长托德·布兰奇和共和党捐赠者，警告将面临弹劾和其他形式的惩罚。
US President Donald Trump on Saturday accused Democrats of threatening Republican officials, donors and supporters with impeachment and imprisonment following their midterm election victory, describing the alleged actions as “extortion at the highest level.”In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, Trump alleged that Democratic political leaders had sent threatening letters to several people, including Attorney General Todd Blanche and Republican donors, warning of impeachment and other forms of punishment.
“他们威胁我们的捐赠者——世界上一些最受尊敬的人——以监禁和许多其他层面的惩罚，仅仅因为他们碰巧是共和党人，或是共和党支持者，”特朗普写道。
“They’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters,” Trump wrote.
他将所谓的施压行动定性为“武器化与诉讼战”，指责民主党人因政治立场而非任何所谓的不法行为针对这些人。
He characterized the alleged pressure campaign as “weaponization and lawfare,” accusing Democrats of targeting people over their political affiliations rather than any alleged wrongdoing.
特朗普还点名密歇根州民主党参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金，声称她意图针对支持共和党价值观的年轻人。
Trump also singled out Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, claiming she intended to target young people who support Republican values.
“监禁的对象应该是这些勒索者，”他说，并敦促共和党人“快点清醒过来！”总统呼吁司法部调查他所称的犯罪行为，表示已下令该部门立即介入调查。
“The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS,” he said, urging Republicans to “get smart, fast!”The president called on the Department of Justice to investigate what he described as criminal conduct, saying he was ordering the department to look into the matter immediately.
这些指控出台之际，中期选举后政治紧张局势升级，国会控制权和华盛顿的权力平衡预计将塑造特朗普总统任期的下一阶段。
The allegations come amid heightened political tensions following the midterm elections, with control of Congress and the balance of power in Washington expected to shape the next phase of Trump's presidency.
特朗普未提供所谓威胁信的具体细节，也未透露据称收到威胁者的身份。
Trump did not provide specific details of the alleged threatening letters or identify the individuals he said had received them.
在一篇后续帖子中，特朗普写道，据称针对“无辜的共和党捐赠者”以及“党员”作出的威胁“绝无仅有，完全违法”。他呼吁将这些所谓的威胁“立即！”向司法部举报，甚至直接发送给美国总统本人。
In a follow-up post, Trump wrote that the alleged threats made against “innocent Republican Donors” as well as “Party Members” are “absolutely unprecedented, and totally illegal.”He called for the alleged threats to be reported “IMMEDIATELY!” to the Department of Justice, and even send them directly to the US president himself.
他补充道：“参议院必须采取行动，停止被推来推去，以免共和党输掉选举，甚至出现更糟的情况！司法部和众议院也是如此。”
“The Senate must act, and stop being pushed around to the point of the Republican Party losing Elections, and worse! Likewise, the DOJ and House of Representatives,” he added.
