【新唐人北京时间2018年08月20日讯】川普总统为尽快结束通俄门调查,已指示白宫人员与特别检察官穆勒充分合作。但周日(8月19日),他在推特上批驳《纽约时报》暗示其律师已翻盘的报导,并再次强调这正是假新闻成为人民敌人的原因。
川普周六下午在推特上透露,他已允许白宫法律顾问麦加恩(Don McGahn)及所有穆勒(Robert Mueller)所要求的白宫人员充分配合穆勒的调查。而且,白宫此前已爽快地向穆勒提交了100多万页的文件,他是以史上最透明的方式对待这场政治迫害。
I allowed White House Counsel Don McGahn, and all other requested members of the White House Staff, to fully cooperate with the Special Counsel. In addition we readily gave over one million pages of documents. Most transparent in history. No Collusion, No Obstruction. Witch Hunt!

然而,《纽约时报》(The New York Times)周六报导,过去9个月中,麦加恩与调查人员已进行了至少3次面谈,总时长达30小时,并在谈话中透露了川普妨碍司法公正的证据——试图开除穆勒。
《纽时》称,如果不是麦加恩透露这些信息,穆勒团队可能还未发现川普打算解雇穆勒。报导甚至评论,一名律师向正审查其客户的调查人员交代这么多信息,这是非同寻常的事情——暗指麦加恩已经翻盘,情况对川普十分不利。
麦加恩与川普合作已久,他是2016年大选期间川普选战的竞选顾问;川普胜选后,他又被任命为总统过渡团队的首席法律顾问;2016年11月下旬,他被任命为白宫法律顾问。
周日早上,川普连发推文批驳《纽时》的报导。他指出,因为麦加恩对穆勒调查团的数小时作证,《纽时》就认为麦加恩会成为像当年“水门事件”(Watergate)中对尼克松总统翻盘的律师狄恩(John Dean)一样的“叛徒”( RAT)。川普表示,但正是他自己允许麦加恩和所有其他白宫人员作证的,而他其实没必要这样做。
The failing @nytimes wrote a Fake piece today implying that because White House Councel Don McGahn was giving hours of testimony to the Special Councel, he must be a John Dean type “RAT.” But I allowed him and all others to testify – I didn’t have to. I have nothing to hide……

川普接着在推文中指出:“我没有什么可隐藏的,而且要求透明性,以便这场非法操纵和令人厌恶的猎巫行动能够终结。这么多生命已经无端被毁——麦卡锡主义达到了最恶劣的程度!然而穆勒和他的民主党帮拒绝关注另一方的真正的犯罪——媒体甚至更糟!”
….and have demanded transparency so that this Rigged and Disgusting Witch Hunt can come to a close. So many lives have been ruined over nothing – McCarthyism at its WORST! Yet Mueller & his gang of Dems refuse to look at the real crimes on the other side – Media is even worse!

在另一篇推文中,川普再就《纽时》的假新闻发表评论:
“失败的《纽约时报》写了一篇新闻,看起来好像白宫顾问已背离总统。而事实正好相反——而且那两个假记者知道这一情况。这就是为什么假新闻媒体已经成为人民的敌人。对美国来说太糟了!”
The Failing New York Times wrote a story that made it seem like the White House Councel had TURNED on the President, when in fact it is just the opposite – & the two Fake reporters knew this. This is why the Fake News Media has become the Enemy of the People. So bad for America!

川普律师朱利安尼(Rudy Giuliani)周六也在推文中指出:
“到穆勒调查该提交报告的时候了。我们将发布我们的。不要像科米一样干扰选举。(川普)总统与俄罗斯无关。他也没有妨碍调查。(他)没有对提供140万页文件和32名证人提出特权。”
Time for Mueller investigation to file report. We will release ours. Don’t interfere with election like Comey.The President had nothing to do with Russians. He didn’t obstruct an investigation. 1.4 million documents and 32 witnesses no privilege raised.
