The US Department of Justice does not want to give a written promise to a judge. They must say if a $1.8 billion fund is gone forever.

美國司法部不希望向法官提供書面承諾。他們必須說明一項 18 億美元的基金是否已永久取消。

The government wanted a fund to help some people. Many people did not like this plan. They feared the money would go to people who broke the law on January 6, 2021. So, the government said they stopped the plan.

政府原本希望設立一項基金來幫助部分人士。許多人不喜歡這個計劃，他們擔心資金會流向 2021 年 1 月 6 日違法的人。因此，政府表示他們已停止該計劃。

A judge wants the leaders to sign a paper. This paper must prove the fund is dead. The judge wants to be sure the government does not start the fund again with a new name.

一名法官要求領導者簽署一份文件，以證明該基金已終止。法官希望確保政府不會以新名稱重新啟動該基金。

The government says no. They say the leaders do not have to sign the paper. They think the judge is asking for too much. They say they already told the truth in other meetings.

政府表示拒絕。他們認為領導者不需要簽署該文件，並認為法官的要求過多。他們表示在其他會議中已經陳述了事實。

Now the judge must decide. The judge will decide if the government's words are enough or if they need the signed papers.

現在由法官決定。法官將決定政府的口頭陳述是否足夠，或者是否需要簽署的文件。

The United States Department of Justice has refused a judge's request for written, sworn statements confirming that a proposed $1.8 billion fund has been permanently cancelled.

美國司法部拒絕了一位法官的要求，不願提供書面宣誓聲明以確認該項擬議的 18 億美元基金已永久取消。

The legal dispute focuses on a $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' program. This program was originally planned as part of a legal settlement in a lawsuit filed by President Trump against the Internal Revenue Service to compensate people affected by government overreach. However, the plan faced strong opposition from lawmakers because the money might have gone to people convicted of crimes during the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach. Consequently, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told a House committee that the fund would not be created, although he did not provide this statement in a sworn legal document.

這場法律爭議聚焦於一項 17.76 億美元的「反武器化」計畫。該計畫最初是作為川普總統對美國國稅局提起訴訟後的法律和解協議的一部分而規劃，旨在補償受政府權力過度擴張影響的人士。然而，由於資金可能會流向在 2021 年 1 月 6 日國會山莊騷亂事件中被定罪的人，該計畫遭到立法者的強烈反對。因此，代理總檢察長 Todd Blanche 告訴眾議院委員會該基金將不會成立，但他並未在宣誓法律文件中提供此項聲明。

In the current case before U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, the administration wants to dismiss the lawsuit. They argue that the case is no longer relevant because the fund never started and no managers were hired. However, Judge Brinkema kept a temporary order in place and asked for sworn declarations from top officials, including Acting Attorney General Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. She wants to ensure the program will not be restarted under a different name. The Justice Department refused this request, asserting that forcing senior officials to give such testimony would interfere with the separation of powers between the government branches.

在目前由美國地方法院法官 Leonie Brinkema 審理的案件中，政府希望撤銷該訴訟。他們主張該案件已不再相關，因為該基金從未啟動，也沒有聘僱管理人員。然而，Brinkema 法官維持了臨時命令，並要求包括代理總檢察長 Blanche 和財政部長 Scott Bessent 在內的高級官員提供宣誓聲明。她希望確保該計畫不會在更名後重新啟動。司法部拒絕了這一要求，聲稱強迫高級官員提供此類證詞將干涉政府部門之間的權力分立。

The court must now decide if the government's previous statements are enough to dismiss the case, or if the lack of sworn documents means the legal battle must continue.

法院現在必須決定，政府之前的陳述是否足以撤銷該案，或者由於缺乏宣誓文件，意味著法律之爭必須繼續。

The United States Department of Justice has declined a judicial request to provide written, sworn testimony confirming the permanent termination of a proposed $1.8 billion fund.

美國司法部拒絕了一項司法請求，不願提供書面宣誓證詞以確認一項擬議中的 18 億美元基金已永久終止。

The legal contention centers on a $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' program, originally conceived as a settlement component in a civil suit initiated by President Trump against the Internal Revenue Service. The program's stated objective was the redress of claims pertaining to prosecutorial overreach. However, the initiative encountered significant legislative opposition due to the potential for disbursements to individuals convicted of offenses related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach. Consequently, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche informed a House committee that the fund would not proceed, although this assertion was not documented in a sworn writing.

這起法律爭議集中在一個 17.76 億美元的「反武器化」計畫，最初是作為川普總統對美國國稅局提起民事訴訟的和解組成部分而構思的。該計畫的既定目標是補償與檢察權過度擴張相關的索賠。然而，由於可能向 2021 年 1 月 6 日國會山莊騷亂中被定罪的個人撥款，該倡議遭遇了顯著的立法反對。因此，代理司法部長 Todd Blanche 告知眾議院委員會該基金將不會推行，儘管這一主張並未記載於宣誓書中。

In the current litigation before U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, the administration seeks the dismissal of the case on the grounds of mootness, asserting that the fund was never operationalized and no administrators were appointed. Judge Brinkema, however, maintained a preliminary injunction and requested sworn declarations from Acting Attorney General Blanche, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward to ensure the program would not be reconstituted under an alternative designation. The Justice Department, via counsel Andrew Block, has rebuffed this requirement, contending that such compelled testimony from senior officials would constitute an infringement upon the separation of powers. The administration maintains that prior congressional testimony and court filings are sufficient evidence of the program's termination.

在目前美國地方法官 Leonie Brinkema 審理的訴訟中，政府以該案已失去意義為由尋求撤案，聲稱該基金從未投入運作且未任命管理員。然而，Brinkema 法官維持了初步禁制令，並要求代理司法部長 Blanche、財政部長 Scott Bessent 及助理司法部長 Stanley Woodward 提供宣誓聲明，以確保該計畫不會在另一個名稱下重新組成。司法部透過律師 Andrew Block 拒絕了這一要求，認為強迫高級官員提供此類證詞將構成對權力分立的侵害。政府堅持認為，之前的國會證詞和法院提交的文件已足以證明該計畫已終止。

The court must now determine if the administration's existing assertions suffice to warrant the dismissal of the lawsuit or if the lack of sworn declarations necessitates further litigation.

法院現在必須決定，政府現有的主張是否足以支持撤銷訴訟，或者由於缺乏宣誓聲明而需要進一步訴訟。
