美国律师埃里克·西伯特辞职 特朗普计划解雇他 因为他拒绝控告纽约AG Letitia James 进行抵押贷款欺诈调查
U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned after Trump planned to fire him for refusing to charge NY AG Letitia James in a mortgage fraud probe.
美国检察官埃里克·西伯特(Erik Siebert)辞去弗吉尼亚东区临时美国检察官的职务。 据报道,总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)计划解雇他,因为他拒绝对纽约总检察长莱蒂塔·詹姆斯(Letitia James)进行抵押贷款欺诈调查。
U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned as interim U.S. Attorney for Virginia’s Eastern District amid reports that President Donald Trump planned to fire him for refusing to pursue charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James in a mortgage fraud investigation.
探头集中在与2023年弗吉尼亚州购房和詹姆斯在纽约的房产有关的文件上, 联邦官员指控有不实陈述。
The probe centered on documents related to a 2023 Virginia home purchase and James’s New York City property, with federal officials alleging misrepresentations.
James的律师反驳了这些指控,列举了与指控相矛盾的证据,并辩称调查出于政治动机,特别是考虑到James对Trump提起的法律诉讼。
James’s attorney disputed the claims, citing evidence that contradicted the allegations and arguing the investigation was politically motivated, especially given James’s legal actions against Trump.
Siebert曾任职10多年,在得知总统打算罢免他后辞职,离开时没有一位领导人。
Siebert, who had served in the office for over ten years, stepped down after being informed of the president’s intent to remove him, leaving the office without a leader.
司法部尚未证实任何指控,这一情况引起了人们对联邦起诉中政治影响的关切。
The Justice Department has not confirmed any charges, and the situation has raised concerns about political influence in federal prosecutions.
