联邦上诉法院今审“总统档案法”案:司法部称白宫文件属总统个人

华盛顿联邦上诉法院10月16日开庭审理司法部要求废止《总统档案法》的诉求。政府律师主张这部1978年水门事件后立法的法律“违宪”、白宫文件属于特朗普个人而非美国人民;白宫发言人劳伦·比斯(Lauren Bis)称该法违宪、明显违反三权分立。联邦法官贝茨今年已裁定政府败诉。此案极可能最终打到最高法院。

Federal Appeals Court Hears Presidential Records Act Case as Justice Department Argues White House Files Belong to the President Personally
A federal appeals court in Washington heard arguments on Oct. 16 in the Justice Department's bid to nullify the Presidential Records Act. Government lawyers argued that the statute, enacted in 1978 after Watergate, is unconstitutional and that White House documents belong to Trump personally rather than to the American people; White House spokesperson Lauren Bis called the law unconstitutional and a clear violation of the separation of powers. U.S. District Judge John Bates ruled against the government earlier this year. The case is widely expected to reach the Supreme Court.
