当地时间8月8日凌晨,美国参议院以50票赞成、49票反对的微弱优势,确认 Todd Blanche 为美国第88任司法部长。Blanche 此前是川普总统的私人辩护律师,曾帮助川普应对拜登政府时期的多项法律诉讼。

In the early hours of August 8 local time, the U.S. Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as the 88th Attorney General of the United States by a narrow margin of 50 to 49. Blanche previously served as President Trump’s personal defense attorney and helped him navigate multiple legal cases during the Biden administration.

据福克斯新闻报道,参议院司法委员会主席 Chuck Grassley(爱荷华州共和党参议员)在确认过程中发挥了关键的幕后作用。面对部分共和党参议员的犹豫和民主党的全力反对,Grassley 协调各方、化解分歧,最终推动 Blanche 顺利过关。

According to Fox News, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) played a decisive behind-the-scenes role in the confirmation process. Facing hesitation from some Republican senators and full opposition from Democrats, Grassley mediated among all parties, bridged differences, and ultimately secured Blanche’s confirmation.

与此同时,阿拉斯加州共和党参议员 Lisa Murkowski 的态度引发争议。她曾投票支持拜登政府的司法部长 Merrick Garland,却对 Blanche 表示反对,声称担心后者会“政治化司法部”。川普总统在 Truth Social 上转发相关批评,指出正是 Garland 批准了对海湖庄园的搜查行动,质疑 Murkowski 的双标立场

At the same time, Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski’s stance sparked controversy. She had previously voted to confirm Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, yet opposed Blanche, claiming concerns that he would “politicize the Justice Department.” President Trump shared related criticism on Truth Social, pointing out that it was Garland who authorized the raid on Mar-a-Lago, questioning Murkowski’s double standard.

分析人士认为,Blanche 的确认标志着川普政府在司法系统推进“去政治化、严格执法”的重要一步。他此前已以代理身份推动多项改革,重点打击暴力犯罪、毒品和非法移民问题。

Analysts believe Blanche’s confirmation marks an important step for the Trump administration in advancing “depoliticization and strict law enforcement” within the justice system. He had already driven multiple reforms in an acting capacity, focusing on cracking down on violent crime, drugs, and illegal immigration.

个人评论:
Personal Commentary:

司法部不能再成为政治武器。过去几年我们看到的,是选择性执法、针对政敌、放过真正的罪犯。这种做法严重损害了法治的根基。

The Justice Department must no longer serve as a political weapon. What we have seen in recent years is selective prosecution, targeting of political opponents, and letting real criminals go free. This approach has severely damaged the foundation of the rule of law.

Todd Blanche 的确认,是一个明确的信号:川普政府要纠正这个方向。严格执法、去政治化,才是司法部长应有的职责。如果他真能推动司法部回归正轨,那对美国、对所有普通人,都是一件好事。

The confirmation of Todd Blanche is a clear signal that the Trump administration intends to correct this course. Strict law enforcement and depoliticization are the proper duties of an Attorney General. If he can truly guide the Justice Department back onto the right track, it will be a good thing for America and for all ordinary people.
