The two top officials at the Justice Department have interviewed eight
candidates to replace the fired James Comey amid demands from lawmakers of both
parties for Donald Trump to turn over any recordings he may have made of his
meetings with the former FBI director.
美国两党的立法者要求特朗普交出与前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米谈话的录音带，而司法部门的两位高级官员一天之内面试了8位候选人来填补詹姆斯·科米的职位。
Washington continued to be roiled by Trump’s firing of Comey on May 9,
citing frustrations with the FBI director’s conduct. Comey was in charge of the
agency’s investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with
Russia in that country’s attempts to interfere with the U.S. presidential
election last year. A Trump tweet that Comey had "better hope that there are no
’tapes’ of our conversations" has added to the turmoil.
5月9日，特朗普因联邦调查局局长科米领导不力而将其解雇，这一消息引发朝野哗然。科米正在负责调查去年的美国大选中特朗普竞选团队是否与俄罗斯有所勾结。特朗普在推特上写道“最好希望我们之间的对话没有被录音”，这条推特消息更是加剧了动荡的局势。
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Monday again refused to answer
multiple questions about whether Trump is recording private.
周一，白宫新闻秘书肖恩·斯派塞再次拒绝透露白宫是否对特朗普与科米的谈话进行录音。
