参议院推举Trump Ally Thomas Bell担任HHS监督作用的负责人,引发道德关切。 Senate advances Trump ally Thomas Bell to head HHS watchdog role, sparking ethics concerns.

美国参议院的一个委员会已经推举前总统唐纳德·特朗普的共和党盟友托马斯·马奇·贝尔担任卫生和公众服务部监察长,这是传统意义上的无党派角色。 A U.S. Senate committee has advanced Thomas March Bell, a Republican ally of former President Donald Trump, to become inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, a traditionally nonpartisan role. 14-13票将他的提名送交参议院全体成员确认。 The 14-13 vote sends his nomination to the full Senate for confirmation. 贝尔是一位长期共和党律师,与HHS和众议院管理委员会有过联系,他已承诺支持特朗普总统和卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪,引起民主党人和堕胎权利团体对他的独立性和道德的担忧,并引用过去的纪律问题和政治调查. Bell, a longtime GOP attorney with past ties to HHS and the House Administration Committee, has pledged support for President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., raising concerns among Democrats and abortion rights groups about his independence and ethics, citing past disciplinary issues and politically charged investigations. HHS监察长负责监督医疗保健、医疗补助和针对欺诈和浪费的执法。 The HHS inspector general oversees Medicare, Medicaid, and enforcement against fraud and waste. 他的提名反映了在特朗普早些时候撤除数名监察长之后,任命效忠者担任联邦监察职位的更为广泛的模式。 His nomination reflects a broader pattern of appointing loyalists to federal watchdog positions, following Trump’s earlier removal of several inspectors general.
