特朗普撤回对联邦监察机构负责人人选的提名,原因是其攻击性短信被曝光,引发共和党参议员的强烈抗议。 周二晚间,唐纳德·特朗普总统撤回了对联邦监察机构负责人人选的提名。 被提名担任特别检察官办公室负责人的保罗·英格拉西亚原定于本周举行确认听证会。然而,《政客》杂志周一报道了一段短信聊天,其中显示他称马丁·路德·金纪念日应该“被扔进地狱的第七层”。 英格拉西亚还在聊天中称自己有时有“纳粹倾向”。短信曝光后,几位共和党参议员表示不会支持特朗普的提名。其中包括参议院中一些最保守、最坚定的特朗普盟友。 Trump pick to lead watchdog agency withdraws after offensive text messages revealed President Donald Trump's pick to lead a federal watchdog agency withdrew from consideration Tuesday evening, after his offensive text messages were made public and GOP senators revolted. Paul Ingrassia, who was nominated to lead the Office of Special Counsel, had been scheduled to have his confirmation hearing this week. On Monday, however, Politico reported on a text chat that showed him saying the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be "tossed into the seventh circle of hell." Ingrassia also described himself in the chat as having "a Nazi streak" at times. After the texts came to light, several Republican senators said they would not support his nomination. They included some of the most conservative and stalwart Trump allies in the Senate.
