[(Title)] Mike Bloomberg funds NYU Law fellowship paying lawyers to challenge Trump's environmental policies.

Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg funds a program at New York University School of Law that places lawyers in Democratic state attorneys general offices to specifically prosecute Trump administration policies on energy and the environment.

亿万富翁和前纽约市市长迈克尔·布隆伯格为纽约大学法学院的一个项目提供资金，该项目将律师安置在民主党总检察长办公室，专门起诉特朗普关于能源和环境的政府政策。

The 14 current fellows in the State Energy & Environment Impact Center program are spread across nine states and the District of Columbia.

国家能源和环境影响中心项目中的14名现有研究员分布在9个州和哥伦比亚特区。

Although they report to the state attorneys general, they are paid through Bloomberg's funding of the NYU program, RealClearInvestigations reports.

虽然他们向州检察长报告，但他们是通过纽约大学的布隆伯格基金项目获得薪水的。

Although it is common for government agency employees to be paid by outside funds, critics indicate that it is inappropriate for special interest money to be used for targeted government action.

虽然政府机构雇员一般由外部基金支付，但评论家指出，将特殊基金用于有针对性的政府行动是不适当的。

"There's a systematic effort by the elite billionaires on the left to undermine America's energy industry,"  Daniel Turner, executive director of Power the Future, told the Washington Examiner about the report.  "Democrats regularly complain about collusion, but Bloomberg is literally using his fortune to buy off state AG offices to do his bidding."

“左翼精英亿万富翁有系统地努力破坏美国的能源产业，”Power the Future的执行董事丹尼尔特纳向华盛顿审查员介绍了这份报告。 “民主党人经常抱怨串通，但布隆伯格实际上正在利用他的财富来收购国有公司的办公室以进行竞标。”

Amy Spitalnick, an adviser and spokeswoman for acting New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, defended the program, telling RealClearInvestigations that the center "has no role in supervising the fellows."

纽约代理总检察长芭芭拉·安德伍德的顾问兼发言人艾米·斯皮塔尔尼克为这项计划辩护，该中心“不负责监督研究员”。

In 2001, Bloomberg switched from Democrat to Republican, but the multibillionaire had, up until now, been registered as an independent since 2007, around the time of the financial crisis.

2001年，布隆伯格从民主党转入共和党，但是这位亿万富翁在金融危机发生之际——2007年起——就已登记为独立。

Bloomberg announced Tuesday that he re-registered as a Democrat.

布隆伯格周二宣布，他重新加入民主党。

"Today, I have re-registered as a Democrat – I had been a member for most of my life – because we need Democrats to provide the checks and balance our nation so badly needs,"  Bloomberg said in an Instagram post Tuesday morning.

布隆伯格周二早上在Instagram上发表评论说：“今天，我重新登记为民主党——我这辈子大部分时间都是民主党成员——因为我们需要民主党提供制衡，从而满足我们国家的紧迫需求。”

Under the terms of their agreement with the center, fellows work solely to advance progressive climate change policy.

根据他们与中心的协议条款，研究员只致力于推进渐进式气候变化政策。。

The State Energy & Environment Impact Center was opened last August with a grant of almost $6 million from Bloomberg Philanthropies, which is controlled by the former mayor.

国家能源和环境影响中心于去年8月成立，由前市长控制的布隆伯格慈善基金提供近600万美元赠款。

Bloomberg has donated millions to Democratic attorneys general campaigns for the midterm election cycle, and has spent almost $100 million on House Democratic races for the 2018 elections.

布隆伯格在中期选举周期向民主党总检察长运动捐赠了数百万美元，并在2018年的众议院民主运动中投入了近1亿美元。
