从被威胁解雇到「非常好」：特朗普两名顾问把巴尔干咨询费捐给了总统图书馆
华盛顿——据 CNN 与《纽约邮报》报道，特朗普的两名高级政治顾问詹姆斯·布莱尔（James Blair）与克里斯·拉奇维塔（Chris LaCivita），已将本月早些时候在巴尔干为一个亲俄政府做咨询赚得的酬金，全数捐给了特朗普总统图书馆。
"是的，我们确实捐出了全部酬金。我爱总统，永远感激他给我的机会。为保存他伟大 legacy 做贡献是我的荣幸！"布莱尔在 X 上发文确认。拉奇维塔也在社交媒体上确认了捐款。
特朗普周五在白宫南草坪对记者称，这笔捐款"非常好"（very nice），他不再调查两人巴尔干之行是否构成利益冲突。"不，不用了，他们拿了钱又捐给了基本上是慈善机构的东西，"特朗普说，"我刚听说，我觉得这是非常好的事。"
就在本月早些时候，特朗普还曾表示，如果两人的外部工作构成利益冲突，他将解雇他们。
《纽约时报》最先报道两人赴巴尔干之行。据《纽约时报》报道，两人经一家华盛顿律所、各获得数十万美元报酬，为斯普斯卡共和国（波黑境内的塞族实体）政府提供选举投票事务方面的咨询。《纽约邮报》称每人的酬金超过 10 万美元，为六位数。该实体由米洛拉德·多迪克领导，同时亲近特朗普与俄罗斯总统普京。
拉奇维塔曾共同领导特朗普 2024 年竞选；布莱尔曾任白宫副幕僚长，今年 5 月离职。

Top Trump Advisers Donate Balkans Consulting Fees to Trump Presidential Library After Firing Threat
WASHINGTON — Top Trump political advisers James Blair and Chris LaCivita have donated money they made earlier this month consulting in the Balkans on behalf of a pro-Russian government to President Donald Trump's presidential library, CNN and the New York Post reported.
"Yes, it's true we donated our full fee. I love the President and am eternally grateful for the opportunities he has provided me. Contributing to the preservation of his legacy of greatness is my honor!" Blair posted on X. LaCivita also confirmed the donation in a social media post.
Trump on Friday called the donation to his presidential library "very nice," telling reporters on the South Lawn that he's no longer looking into whether their travel posed a conflict of interest. "No, no, they took the money and they gave it to essentially a charity," Trump said. "I just heard that. I think it was a very nice thing to do."
Earlier this month, Trump had said he would fire Blair and LaCivita as political advisers if their outside work turned out to present a conflict of interest.
The New York Times first reported the pair's Balkans trip. Blair and LaCivita "were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each through a Washington-based law firm that was retained by Republika Srpska's government to provide counsel on voting issues," the Times reported. The New York Post, which first reported the donations, said the fees were more than $100,000 apiece. Republika Srpska, the Serb entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, is led by Milorad Dodik, who is friendly toward both Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
LaCivita co-led Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, and Blair served as a deputy chief of staff at the White House until his departure in May.
