Topics
CNN主播:报道了盖茨被两名女子指控性贿赂的新闻,其中一人声称目睹盖茨与其17岁朋友发生性关系。 Casey Hunt:详细介绍了盖茨被指控的细节,包括其中一名女子作证称盖茨在知道其朋友年龄后才与其发生性关系,以及盖茨否认有任何不当行为,众议院议长敦促伦理委员会对盖茨的报告保密。 Elliot Williams:强调参议院司法委员会应该获得所有相关信息来审查盖茨的提名,认为众议院可以并且应该向参议院司法委员会提供相关信息,即使不正式移交,相关信息最终也会以某种方式落入参议院司法委员会手中。 Lanhee Chen:指出参议员们必须在公开投票前权衡利弊,许多参议员希望在投票前看到完整的报告,并分析了2026年对共和党来说将是艰难的一年,以及盖茨的提名与其他提名不同,因为它涉及法律合规性问题。 不明发言人:讨论了如果特朗普将盖茨的提名变成忠诚度测试,许多参议员可能会屈服,以及参议院是否会为了让特朗普任命其提名人而休会是一个重要的考验。 Stephen Collinson:分析了特朗普将盖茨的提名变成了权力测试,以及特朗普可能更倾向于坚持盖茨的提名,而不是放弃。 Casey Hunt: 报道了特朗普正在亲自游说参议员,以推动盖茨的司法部长提名,但他对盖茨获得确认的可能性表示怀疑,并私下表示盖茨获得确认的几率不到50%。
