The extraordinary circumstances presented here demand it Us Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Friday the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the Justice Department's investigations into Donald Trump who just three days earlier announced he is running for president again in 2024.

這裡呈現的特殊情況要求我們司法部長梅里克-加蘭週五宣佈任命一名特別顧問，監督司法部對唐納德-特朗普的調查，而後者在三天前剛剛宣佈他將在2024年再次競選總統。

Garland said that made the appointment of a special counsel imperative based on recent developments, including the former president's announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election and the sitting president stated intention to be a candidate as well.

加蘭說，根據最近的事態發展，包括前總統宣佈他是下屆選舉的總統候選人以及現任總統表示也打算成為候選人，這使得任命一名特別顧問勢在必行。

I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel, Garland named Jack Smith as special counsel.

我的結論是，任命一名特別顧問符合公眾利益，加蘭任命傑克-史密斯為特別顧問。

A political independent who had been prosecuting Kosovo war crimes for the International Criminal Court in the Hague Garland said Smith will oversee both the investigation into Trump's handling of classified government documents and the probe into attempts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election.

曾為海牙國際刑事法院起訴科索沃戰爭罪的政治獨立人士加蘭說，史密斯將同時監督對特朗普處理政府機密文件的調查和對2020年大選後試圖干擾和平移交權力的調查。

Mr smith will begin his work as special counsel immediately and will be returning to the United States from the Hague smith who previously oversaw the Justice Department's public integrity section said in a statement, quote, I will exercise independent judgment and will move the investigations forward expeditiously and thoroughly to whatever outcome the facts and the law dictate in a statement to Fox News trump said he won't partake in the special counsel's investigations and has called them politically motivated witch hunts an official speaking on condition of anonymity.

史密斯先生將立即開始他作為特別顧問的工作，並將從海牙返回美國。史密斯曾負責監督司法部的公共誠信部門，他在一份聲明中說，我將行使獨立的判斷，並將迅速和徹底地推進調查，以達到事實和法律規定的任何結果，在對福克斯新聞的聲明中，特朗普說他不會參與特別顧問的調查，並稱他們是出於政治動機的獵巫行為。

Said the White House was not involved in the decision to appoint a special counsel, and Biden did not respond to multiple shouted questions from reporters about the appointment during his only public appearance of the day.

說白宮沒有參與任命特別顧問的決定，拜登在當天唯一一次公開露面時沒有迴應記者關於任命的多個喊話問題。
