Attorney General Pam Bondi, representing former President Donald Trump, sent written assurances to 10 major IT corporations, including Google and Apple, stating that they would not face legal consequences for violating the statutory ban on TikTok. The letters claim that Trump possesses constitutional authority to override laws passed by Congress, including those unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court, effectively allowing the executive branch to nullify legislation and grant immunity to private companies for actions that would otherwise be illegal. Legal experts have warned that this sets a precedent for an unprecedented expansion of executive power, raising concerns about the balance of powers between the presidency, Congress, and the judiciary.

美国检察长邦迪致信谷歌、苹果,告诉它们可以无视国会通过的禁止TikTok 的法律,不用担心因此犯法,因为川普总统有权叫停法律,禁止TikTok的法律必须让位给川普总统的国家安全和外交权力。这是最明确地表示川普有凌驾于法律之上的权力。 https://t.co/epo8nptrAi
