"Run interference" = Chạy tới can thiệp -> Xử lý vấn đề thay ai để giúp người đó tránh được rắc rối/phiền toái.
Ví dụ
The boss might need to run interference for you with their peer (đồng trang lứa, địa vị), and for future requests that might violate your agreed-upon priorities.
Over and again, Warren presents dubious (mơ hồ) versions of her personal story, and up to now the press has run interference for her. For example, there was that questionable anecdote (chuyện vặt) about how she was fired in from her job in 1971 at an elementary school after only one year because she was "visibly pregnant." That story is contradicted (bị bác bỏ) by contemporaneous (đương thời) school documents and news reporting, and by Warren herself when she explained the incident previously.
That’s a matter for the Foreign Relations Committee, Graham said, or for the DOJ. But that felt like a cop-out to Trumpers. Of what use is Graham as a toady if he won’t wield (nắm, thi hành) the power he holds to run interference for the president on impeachment (luận tội)? “Witch hunt” soundbites are great, but anyone can do that. Graham has a gavel. Why won’t he wield it? It’s like a golfer having a caddy who’s happy to tell him “nice drive” but who refuses to carry his bag of clubs for him.
