The accusation came in the trial of a Chicago-area political fund-raiser and businessman, Antoin Rezko, who is facing bribery charges as part of a wide-ranging corruption investigation that has been a source of embarrassment to both Democrats and Republicans in Illinois.指控来在审判一名芝加哥地区的政治筹款和商人， antoin rezko ，谁是面临的贿赂费用的一部分，一项范围广泛的腐败调查已经来源尴尬，双方民主党人和共和党人在伊利诺伊州。
Mr. Rezko’s former business partner is cooperating with the authorities and is expected to testify that Mr. Rezko told him in 2004 that the Illinois Republican Party official was “working with Mr. Rove to have Mr. Fitzgerald removed so that someone else can come in,” and perhaps terminate the investigation, an assistant United States attorney, Carrie Hamilton, said in court on Wednesday, referring to Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the United States attorney in Chicago.先生rezko的前商业伙伴，是与当局合作，并预计在作证先生rezko告诉他，在2004年伊利诺斯州的共和党党官员是“工作与罗夫先生有先生菲茨杰拉德拆除，使别人可以来了， “也许终止调查，美国助理检察官，卡丽汉密尔顿说，在法庭上周三，指j.帕特里克菲茨杰拉德，美国司法部长在芝加哥。
The Republican official who is accused of seeking Mr. Fitzgerald’s ouster, Robert Kjellander, is a longtime friend of Mr. Rove.共和党官员谁是被告求先生菲茨杰拉德的落选，罗伯特kjellander ，是一个长期的朋友，先生罗夫。
Reached by telephone on Wednesday, Mr. Kjellander denied having tried to orchestrate Mr. Fitzgerald’s ouster.所达成的电话对周三先生， kjellander否认曾试图协调先生菲茨杰拉德的落选。 “I never have discussed with Karl Rove or anyone on the White House staff the proposition that US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald should or could be removed from his office,” he said. “我从来没有讨论过与罗夫或任何人对白宫工作人员的命题，即美国联邦检察官菲茨杰拉德应该或可能被删除从他的办公室， ”他说。
A lawyer for Mr. Rove, Robert D.

Mr. Fitzgerald has garnered both respect and animosity since he arrived in Chicago from New York in 2001, pursuing high-profile corruption cases that have resulted in the indictment or conviction of dozens of state and local officials, up to former Gov. George Ryan, a Republican.菲茨杰拉德引起了双方的尊重和敌意，因为他在抵达芝加哥由New York在2001年，追求高知名度的腐败案件，已导致在起诉书中或定罪的数十州和地方官员，直至前州长乔治瑞安，共和党。
Mr. Fitzgerald’s appointment was an end to the tradition in which a prominent local lawyer - typically with longstanding friends among local officials - tended to go easy on questionable practices among his peers, said Steven J. Rauschenberger, a former Republican state senator.菲茨杰拉德先生的任命是结束了传统在其中的一个突出当地律师-通常是与长期的朋友之间的地方官员-倾向于去容易就值得商榷的做法，他的同侪说，潘国j. ra uschenberger，前共和党州参议员。

Disdain among certain Republicans for Mr. Fitzgerald escalated in late 2003, when the Justice Department chose him as a special counsel to lead the White House investigation into the disclosure of the identity of Valerie Wilson, the former CIA operative.鄙视某些共和党先生菲茨杰拉德升级，在2003年年底，当美国司法部选择了他作为一个特殊的律师导致白宫的调查披露的身份（ Valerie威尔逊，前中情局执行。 That inquiry resulted in the conviction last year of I. Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.这项调查的结果在这样的信念下，去年指控利比小，副总统切尼的前参谋总长，对伪证和妨碍司法的指控。
Mr. Kjellander, a prominent Illinois businessman and lobbyist who first met Mr. Rove in the 1970s when they were active in college Republican groups, was regional chairman of the Bush-Cheney campaigns in 2000 and 2004.先生kjellander ，一个突出伊利诺伊州的商人和说客，谁第一次见到先生，罗夫在20世纪70年代时，他们活跃在学院的共和党团体，是区域主席，布什-切尼的广告系列在2 000年和2 004年。 He is a Republican National Committee member from Illinois.他是一位共和党全国委员会的成员来自伊利诺伊州。

Mr. Fitzgerald, at least briefly, was among those who were considered for removal, D. Kyle Sampson, the attorney general’s former chief of staff, testified last year.菲茨杰拉德，至少简单来说，是其中那些谁被视为免职，四凯尔桑普森，总检察长的前参谋总长，证明了去年。 But Mr. Sampson also testified that, as far as he could remember, it was not Mr. Rove who had pushed for Mr. Fitzgerald’s ouster.但先生桑普森还作证说，据他记忆所及，这是不是先生罗夫谁推先生菲茨杰拉德的落选。
