特朗普的律师:特朗普总统应该对其在任总统期间的行为享有豁免权,不受起诉。这一观点基于对总统权力的广泛解释,认为对总统的任何行为提起诉讼都将打开潘多拉魔盒,危及国家稳定。 检察官:如果总统对任何行为都享有豁免权,这意味着美国总统可以为所欲为,这将对法治造成严重损害。检察官认为,特朗普的行为是独特的,不应被视为享有豁免权的理由。 新闻播报员:对特朗普豁免权案的审理过程可能会影响到2024年的总统选举。如果特朗普赢得大选,他可以指示司法部驳回此案。 凯丽·约翰逊:三位法官对特朗普的全面豁免权表示怀疑。法官弗洛伦斯·佩恩质疑总统是否可以出售赦免令或军事机密,甚至下令暗杀政治对手。法官凯伦·亨德森则担心,如果法院支持司法部的观点,可能会导致对总统的起诉泛滥。 白宫发言人约翰·柯比:白宫直到奥斯汀住院后很长时间才得知其患有前列腺癌。 格雷格·迈尔斯:奥斯汀一个月前被诊断出患有早期前列腺癌,并在12月22日接受了微创手术切除前列腺。手术后他出现并发症,并于1月1日再次住院。奥斯汀的预后良好,但其病情和信息披露方式引发了疑问。 黛安·沃什:众议院共和党人认为弹劾国土安全部长马约卡斯是解决边境问题的优先事项,并认为马约卡斯应对近期涌入美国的移民数量负责。一些共和党人还试图以藐视国会的罪名传唤总统拜登之子亨特·拜登。民主党人则认为共和党人没有提供任何明确证据证明拜登总统从亨特·拜登的商业交易中获益。
