Trump declares White House "most transparent in history" after reports of McGahn-Mueller talks

麥加恩-穆勒會談後，特朗普宣布白宮是「史上最透明的」

NYT: White House counsel Don McGahn cooperating with Mueller

《紐約時報》：白宮法律顧問唐·麥加恩與穆勒合作

President Trump declared his administration the "most transparent in history" Saturday, saying his White House staff has supplied more than a million pages of information to Special Counsel Robert Mueller"s investigators.

周六，特朗普總統宣布他的政府是「史上最透明的」，他說白宮工作人員已經向特別顧問羅伯特·穆勒的調查人員提供了不只100萬頁的信息。

In a Twitter message Saturday evening, the president said he allowed White House attorney Don McGahn and others on the White House staff to "fully cooperate" with Mueller in a bid to show there was "no collusion" and "no obstruction."

周六晚上，總統在推特上說，他允許白宮律師麥加恩和白宮其他工作人員與穆勒「全面合作」，以表明沒有「串通」，也「沒有阻礙公務」。

The president"s message followed reports that McGahn had spoken with investigators from Mueller』s investigative team multiple times, which Fox News confirmed Saturday.

在總統發推文之前，有報道稱，麥加恩曾多次與穆勒調查小組的調查人員交談，《福克斯新聞》上周六證實了這一消息。

The revelation came amid a New York Times report, citing multiple sources, indicating that McGahn willingly spoke to the team members – who are looking into, among other things, whether President Trump obstructed justice – for 30 hours over the course of at least three separate occasions. He reportedly gave insight into Trump"s demeanor regarding Mueller』s investigation.

與此同時，《紐約時報》援引多方消息來源的報道稱，麥加恩在至少三次不同的場合中，自願與調查小組成員交談了30個小時。調查小組成員正在調查特朗普總統是否妨礙了司法公正。據報道，麥加恩透露了特朗普對穆勒調查的態度。

The special counsel is investigating alleged Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates in the 2016 presidential election.

特朗普的這位特別法律顧問——麥加恩正在調查俄羅斯干預2016年總統大選和可能與特朗普競選夥伴勾結的指控。

Specific incidents mentioned in these conversations included moments surrounding Trump』s decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey, and his reported preference that Attorney General Jeff Sessions oversee the investigation, according to the Times. (Sessions ultimately recused himself.)

據《紐約時報》報道，那些談話中提到的具體事件包括特朗普解僱前聯邦調查局局長詹姆斯·科米的決定，以及特朗普傾向於讓司法部長傑夫·塞申斯監督此次調查。(塞申斯最終主動取消這一資格。)

Trump seemingly responded to the Saturday"s report tweeting: "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!"

特朗普似乎對周六的報道做出了回應，他在推特上寫道：「我允許白宮法律顧問唐·麥加恩和所有其他白宮工作人員全面配合特別法律顧問的工作。此外，我們還自願提供了100多萬頁的文件。有史以來最透明的政府。沒有勾結，沒有阻礙公務。都是政治迫害！」

A source familiar with the investigation confirmed to Fox News that McGahn spoke to Mueller at length on three occasions. However, the source played down the Times article, saying that there didn』t seem to be anything revelatory in the report』s information and adding that it was already known that Trump instructed McGahn to cooperate with Mueller』s team.

一位該調查的知情人士向《福克斯新聞》證實，麥加恩曾三次與穆勒進行了詳細的交談。然而，這位消息人士淡化了《紐約時報》的那篇文章，稱這份報告的信息似乎沒有任何啟示性的東西，並補充說，眾所周知，特朗普指示麥加恩配合穆勒調查小組的工作。

The special counsel declined to comment when contacted by Fox News.

《福克斯新聞》聯繫特別法律顧問時，他拒絕置評。

McGahn initially began working with Mueller』s team at the behest of Trump』s original team of lawyers, the Times reported. McGahn and his own lawyer, William Burck, were surprised by this decision, sources told the newspaper, and questioned whether he was potentially being set up. As a result, they reportedly decided to cooperate in order to clear McGahn of any wrongdoing.

據《泰晤士報》報道，在特朗普最初的律師團隊的授意下，麥加恩開始與穆勒小組合作。有消息稱麥加恩和他自己的律師威廉·伯克對這一決定感到驚訝，並質疑他是否可能被陷害。他們因此決定合作，以澄清麥加恩的任何不當行為。

Burck released a statement saying, "President Trump, through counsel, declined to assert any privilege over Mr. McGahn"s testimony, so Mr. McGahn answered the Special Counsel team"s questions fulsomely and honestly, as any person interviewed by federal investigators must."

伯克發布了一份聲明，稱「特朗普總統通過律師拒絕對麥加恩的證詞行使任何特權，因此麥加恩一五一十地回答了特別顧問團隊的問題，就像所有接受聯邦調查人員面談的人都必須做到的一樣。」

John Dowd, Trump』s former lead outside attorney, told Fox News that 「Don McGahn was a very strong witness for the president.」

特朗普的前首席律師約翰·多德對《福克斯新聞》表示，「唐·麥加恩是總統的有力證人。」

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told Fox News, 「The president and Don have a great relationship. He appreciates all the hard work he』s done, particularly his help and expertise with the judges and the Supreme Court.」

白宮新聞秘書莎拉·桑德斯告訴《福克斯新聞》，「總統和唐·麥加恩之間的關係很好。他感謝麥加恩所做的一切，特別是他對法官和最高法院的幫助以及他的專業意見。」

The Times report comes amid pressure from Rudy Giuliani, Trump』s personal attorney, for Mueller to conclude the monthslong investigation.

在《紐約時報》發表報告之際，特朗普的私人律師魯迪?朱利安尼向穆勒施壓，要求其結束歷時數月的調查。

「Time for Mueller investigation to file report,」 Giuliani tweeted earlier Saturday. 「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.」

朱利安尼星期六早些時候在推特上說：「穆勒的調查該結束了。我們將發布我們的調查結果。不要像前局長科米那樣干涉選舉。總統與俄國人無關。他沒有妨礙調查。140萬份文件和32名證人都原原本本地說出了真相。」
