Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said congressional leaders — Republicans and Democrats — didn』t object when he informed them in 2017 that the bureau was opening a counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump.

美國聯邦調查局前副局長安德魯?麥凱布表示，當他在2017年告知國會領導人，FBI將對美國總統唐納德?特朗普展開反情報調查時，共和黨和民主黨並未反對。

「That』s the important part here,」 McCabe said in an interview Tuesday on NBC』s 「Today Show.」 「No one objected. Not on legal grounds, not on constitutional grounds and not based on the facts.」

麥凱比周二在接受NBC《今日秀》採訪時表示:「這是最重要的部分。沒有人反對。不是基於法律理由，不是基於憲法理由，也不是基於事實。」

McCabe said he briefed those leaders — known as the 「Gang of Eight」 — about the Trump probe in the days after the president fired FBI director James Comey in May of 2017. McCabe has said officials began the investigation out of concern that Trump may have been colluding with Russia.

麥凱比指出，在總統於2017年5月解僱聯邦調查局局長詹姆斯?科米之後的幾天里，他向這些被稱為「八人幫」的領導人簡要介紹了關於特朗普的調查情況。麥凱比表示，官員們開始進行調查是出於對特朗普可能與俄羅斯勾結的擔憂。

The 「Gang of Eight」 has special clearances to hear classified intelligence information. At that time, it included Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. It also included the top Republicans and Democrats on the House and Senate Intelligence panels.

「八人幫」擁有監聽機密情報的特殊許可權。當時，包括共和党參議院多數黨領袖米奇?麥康奈爾、民主黨少數黨領袖查克?舒默、共和黨眾議院議長保羅?瑞安和眾議院少數黨領袖南希?佩洛西。它還包括參眾兩院情報委員會的共和黨和民主黨高層。

The lawmakers』 staffs had no immediate response Tuesday to the assertion by McCabe.

周二，議員們對麥凱布的說法沒有立即做出回應。

McCabe has said he was present when Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein brought up the idea of wearing a wire to secretly record Trump as well as the possibility of invoking the Constitution』s 25th Amendment to remove the president from office on the grounds he was unfit for office. The Justice Department has disputed McCabe』s depiction of the conversations.

麥凱布透露稱，當副檢察長羅德?羅森斯坦提出戴竊聽器秘密記錄特朗普的想法，以及有可能援引《憲法》第25條修正案，以特朗普不適合擔任總統為由，將他趕下台時，他就在場。但司法部對麥凱布對談話的描述提出了質疑。

Trump has been tweeting his outrage over McCabe』s assertions, saying on Monday that he and Rosenstein 「were planning a very illegal act, and got caught.」

特朗普在推特上對麥凱布的說法表示憤怒，他在周一表示，他和羅森斯坦「策划了一場非常非法的行動，並被抓了起來」。

Sen. Lindsey Graham, the Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he intends to subpoena Rosenstein and McCabe for a hearing to explore allegations they discussed ways to remove Trump from office, which Graham described as an attempted 「administrative coup.』

參議院司法委員會主席、共和党參議員林賽?格雷厄姆表示，他打算傳喚羅森斯坦和麥凱布，要求他們就有關兩人討論如何讓特朗普下台的指控舉行聽證會。格雷厄姆稱這是一場「行政政變」的企圖。

On Friday, Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to the panel』s Democratic chairman, Jerrold Nadler of New York, asking that the committee request testimony from McCabe and Rosenstein.

上周五，眾議院司法委員會的共和黨領袖、喬治亞州眾議員道格?柯林斯致信該委員會的民主黨主席、紐約州的傑羅德?納德勒，要求該委員會讓麥凱博和羅森斯坦提供證詞。
