川普提名的國家情報總監將俄羅斯列爲威脅

President Donald Trump's pick to lead the U.S. Intelligence community cited Russia as a top threat, telling lawmakers Tuesday it is an accepted fact that Moscow tried to influence November's presidential election.

Former Indiana Senator Dan Coats told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Russia “seems to have stepped up their game” in its campaign to influence the American elections. He promised to support a thorough investigation of the Kremlin's role in the U.S. vote.

“It is something that needs to be investigated and addressed,” the 73-year-old Coats, a Republican, said during his confirmation hearing. “I think it is publicly known and acknowledged and accepted that Russia definitely did try to influence the campaign,” Coats said. “To what extent they were successful, I don't think we know.”

Coats also promised that, if confirmed, he would make all relevant materials available for congressional investigations.美國總統川普提名的國家情報總監週二表示，俄羅斯是主要威脅。他告訴國會議員說，莫斯科試圖影響去年11月的總統大選，這是不爭的事實。

前印第安納州共和黨參議員丹·科茨告訴參議院情報委員會說，俄羅斯“似乎加大力度“，試圖影響美國選舉。他保證，支持對克里姆林宮在美國選舉中扮演的角色展開徹底調查。

現年73歲的科茨在參議院情報委員會對他提名舉行的確認聽證會上說，“這件事需要調查和解決。” 他還說，“我想，俄羅斯確實曾試圖影響大選，這是大家都知道，承認並接受的，但是他們到底在多大程度上成功發揮了影響，我們並不知道。”

科茨還保證說，如果提名通過，他承諾讓調查人員得到國會調查需要的所有文件和材料。
