最新變化威脅國會的俄羅斯調查

An extraordinary public airing of the usually hidden, inner-workings of the U.S. intelligence community is rapidly casting doubt on the ability of lawmakers to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“What I’ve read bothers me and I think it should bother the president himself and his team,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes told reporters after taking the unusual step of briefing the president personally.

“The president himself and others in the Trump transition team were clearly put into intelligence reports,” Nunes said outside the White House. “Some of it seems to be inappropriate.”

The revelations by Nunes come just two days after FBI Director James Comey confirmed officials are investigating the Trump campaign’s possible connections with Russia. But Comey rejected Trump’s Twitter claims of wiretapping.

Asked about Nunes’ comments, Trump said Wednesday he felt vindicated.

"I must tell you that I somewhat do,” the president said. “I very much appreciated the fact that they found what they found."

Nunes said he had only seen some of the dozens of intelligence reports that allegedly named the president and members of his team. But he emphasized the reports had “nothing to do with Russia and nothing to do with the Russia investigation.”

Nunes’ revelations may also lend more credence to claims by Trump supporters about a so-called “Deep State,” with officials loyal to former President Barack Obama actively trying to undermine the Trump White House.美國情報機構通常隱蔽的內部運作信息被非同尋常地公之於衆，這很快令人懷疑國會是否有能力調查有關俄羅斯介入2016年美國大選的指稱。

衆議院情報委員會主席德溫·努涅斯對記者說，“我讀到的文件令我不安，我認爲也會令總統和他的團隊不安。” 在這之前，努內斯罕見地親自向川普作了通報。

努內斯在白宮外說：“川普總統自己和他的過渡團隊中的其他人顯然都是情報報告的對象。”他說，“其中有些似乎不妥。”

在努內斯公佈這一消息的兩天前，美國聯盟調查局局長詹姆斯·科米確認，有關官員正在調查川普競選活動與俄羅斯的可能聯繫。科米否認了川普在推特上提出遭到竊聽的指稱。

川普總統星期三被問及努涅斯的言論時表示，他感到自己被證明是對的。

川普說，“我很感謝他們發現了他們發現的事實。”

努涅斯說，他只看到了數十份據稱以川普總統和他的團隊成員爲目標的情報報告中的一部分。他強調，這些報告“與俄羅斯無關，與針對俄羅斯的調查毫無關係”。

努涅斯公開的消息也可能給川普支持者們所稱的“暗勢力”的說法增加了可信度，也就是忠於前總統奧巴馬的政府官員們積極地試圖破壞川普領導下的白宮。
