在2026年7月,美國參議院司法委員會在審查司法部長提名人陶德·布蘭奇(Todd Blanche)的任命程序時遭遇了重大阻礙。
Senate Judiciary Committee hit a major roadblock in the confirmation process for Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche.
委員會推遲了一次關鍵投票,這顯示出川普政府與兩位關鍵共和黨參議員約翰·康寧(John Cornyn)和湯姆·提里斯(Thom Tillis)之間存在顯著分歧。
The committee postponed a critical vote, signaling significant friction between the Trump administration and two key Republican senators, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis.
爭議的核心在於川普總統與國稅局(IRS)之間一項價值100億美元的訴訟和解案。
The controversy centers on a $10 billion lawsuit settlement between President Trump and the IRS.
具體而言,參議員們要求獲得書面保證,以取消先前提出的一個18億美元的「反武器化基金」(Anti-Weaponization Fund),並縮小給予總統的稅務審計豁免權範圍。
Because Democrats on the committee are expected to vote against Blanche, the support of Cornyn and Tillis is essential for the nomination to move forward.
這兩位參議員目前處於擁有獨特影響力的位置;康寧在黨內初選中落敗,而提里斯則不尋求連任,這使得他們在挑戰白宮時擁有更大的獨立性。
While President Trump has defended Blanche as an outstanding candidate, the delay puts the Senate’s goal of a full confirmation vote before the August recess in serious jeopardy.
司法部目前仍在談判中,希望能解決這些擔憂並取得必要的票數。
The Department of Justice remains in negotiations, hoping to resolve these concerns and secure the necessary votes.
