特朗普任命丹·邦吉諾為FBI副局長引發爭議

唐納德·特朗普總統任命前特勤局特工兼保守派評論員丹·邦吉諾為聯邦調查局(FBI)副局長。邦吉諾是特朗普的堅定盟友,將在新任命的FBI局長卡什·帕特爾手下工作。這一任命通過社交媒體宣布,並讚揚邦吉諾為「對我們國家充滿熱愛和激情的人」。邦吉諾和帕特爾均缺乏FBI的經驗,這與該局領導層傳統上由職業特工組成的背景有所不同。

50歲的邦吉諾曾在紐約警察局和特勤局工作,期間曾負責巴拉克·奧巴馬和喬治·W·布殊的總統安保任務。後來,他成為一名著名的右翼人物,主持了廣受歡迎的播客和電台節目《丹·邦吉諾秀》。他的任命引發了批評者的擔憂,擔心FBI可能被政治化,尤其是考慮到他曾多次宣揚有關2020年大選的虛假指控以及政府越權的指控。

FBI目前正在經歷重大的內部變革,包括高級官員被迫辭職以及對2021年1月6日國會暴亂相關調查的審查。邦吉諾承諾將「重建對這一機構的信任」,並強調FBI「屬於美國人民」。他還誓言將專注於傳統的犯罪打擊職責,並改革該機構,旨在消除他所謂的「覺醒文化」和DEI(多元、公平與包容)倡議。

邦吉諾的任命正值特朗普政府重塑聯邦執法機構的更廣泛努力之際。新任FBI局長帕特爾已表示計劃重組該局,包括重新調配人員並重新聚焦於核心執法職責。帕特爾和邦吉諾都被視為特朗普的忠實支持者,這引發了對FBI未來獨立性的質疑。

邦吉諾一直是前總統巴拉克·奧巴馬的直言不諱的批評者,將他與多宗政治醜聞聯繫起來,包括希拉里·克林頓的電郵爭議和選舉干預的指控。他的對抗性風格和與特朗普政治議程的一致性使他在美國政治中成為一個極具爭議的人物。作為副局長,邦吉諾將負責FBI的日常運作,這一職位傳統上由具有豐富局內經驗的職業特工擔任。

這一任命引發了關於特朗普領導下FBI未來方向的辯論,支持者認為邦吉諾和帕特爾將「恢復正義」,而批評者則警告聯邦執法機構可能出現政治偏見。邦吉諾表示他將暫停主持播客,專注於新職務,這標誌著他從媒體評論轉向公共服務的轉變。
