U.S. President Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, William Barr, on Tuesday pledged to shield the special counsel's Russia probe from political pressures and took issue with Trump's labeling the investigation of his inner circle's contacts with Moscow as a "witch hunt."

美国总统唐纳德·川普提名的司法部长人选威廉·巴尔周二誓言保护特别检察官罗伯特·穆勒领导的涉俄调查不受政治干预，他还反对川普把这项针对他的内部圈子同莫斯科接触的调查称为“猎巫”的说法。

"I don't believe [special counsel Robert] Mueller would be involved in a witch hunt," Barr told the Senate Judiciary Committee at his confirmation hearing to become America's top law enforcement officer, adding that he intends to let the probe run its course and that the results should be made known to the public and Congress.

巴尔在提名美国最高执法官员（司法部长）的确认听证会上对参议院司法委员会表示：“我不相信穆勒会卷入猎巫。”他还说，他打算让调查进行到底，并且应该把调查结果向公众和国会公布。

Barr said the special counsel could only be terminated for good cause and that "it's unimaginable" that Mueller would "ever do anything that gave rise to good cause."

巴尔表示，只有在充分理由的情况下才能罢免特别检察官，而“无法想象”穆勒会做“任何能够构成充分理由的事情。”
