美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔及其所领导的使馆正受到美国国务院监察长办公室的调查，两名了解该决定的消息人士向NBC新闻证实了这一情况。
U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle and the embassy she leads are under investigation by the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General, two people familiar with the decision confirmed to NBC News.
此次政府监督机构的调查正值法律顾问、唐纳德·特朗普的长期支持者和捐赠者埃里克·德特斯指控吉尔福伊尔之时。
据称，在2025年确认听证会前几天，吉尔福伊尔曾要求他支付自己尚未结清的10万美元美国运通账单，以换取接触政府高级官员的机会。
“她当时非常需要那10万美元。
The government watchdog’s probe comes as legal consultant and longtime Donald Trump supporter and donor Eric Deters has accused Guilfoyle of asking him to pay her outstanding $100,000 American Express bill in the days before her 2025 confirmation hearing in exchange for access to senior administration officials.
这明显是一笔权钱交易，”德特斯周四在接受NBC新闻采访时说。
“她说，在特朗普的世界里，我几乎可以对她提出任何要求。
“She was so desperate for that $100,000. It was a quid pro quo,” Deters told NBC News in an interview Thursday.
没有哪个请求会太大，”他谈到吉尔福伊尔时说道。
吉尔福伊尔曾是福克斯新闻的节目主持人、特朗普竞选活动的代言人，也是唐纳德·特朗普小儿子的前未婚妻。
德特斯向NBC新闻提供了一份包含他与吉尔福伊尔之间短信和Signal消息的PDF文件，这些消息最初由《华尔街日报》于周三报道。
“She said I could ask her for anything and everything in Trump world. There was no request too big,” he said of Guilfoyle, a former Fox News personality, Trump campaign surrogate and ex-fiancee of Donald Trump Jr. Deters provided NBC News with a PDF document of texts and Signal messages with Guilfoyle, which were first reported Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal.
《每日邮报》则最先报道了此次监督机构的调查。
The Daily Mail first reported the watchdog investigation.
德特斯提供的其中一条消息似乎显示，吉尔福伊尔指示他将钱直接电汇至美国运通公司，因为“这样这笔钱就不会出现在任何记录中”。
One of the messages provided by Deters appears to show Guilfoyle instructing him to wire the money directly to American Express because “it won’t show up anywhere” that way.
他表示自己并未支付这笔钱。
He said he did not pay her the money.
吉尔福伊尔的律师未回应置评请求，但告诉《华尔街日报》，她质疑这些消息的真实性，但未提供具体细节。
An attorney for Guilfoyle did not respond to a request for comment, but told the Journal she disputed the authenticity of the messages while not providing specifics.
副总统JD·万斯周五表示，“这些只是指控”，“我们不会在公众舆论的法庭上审判任何人。”
Vice President JD Vance said Friday that “these are accusations” and “we don’t try people in the court of public opinion.”
他称，德特斯的说法“只是一个人的叙述”。
Deters’ claims, he said, are “one person’s story.”
“我们应该真正看看事实是什么，看看真相是什么。
显然，如果确实发生了坏事，那么相关责任人就必须承担后果，”他说。
“Let’s actually see what the facts are. Let’s see what the truth is, and obviously if there was something bad that happened, then people have to suffer consequences for it,” he said.
白宫未发表评论。
The White House had no comment.
众议员众议院外交事务委员会民主党首席议员格雷戈里·米克斯上周致信国务卿马可·卢比奥，要求提供更多关于《华尔街日报》上出现的额外指控的信息。
Rep. Gregory Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, wrote to Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week asking for more information about additional allegations that appeared in The Wall Street Journal.
周四，卢比奥在雅典与吉尔福伊尔一同出席活动时，因一名记者向他询问针对吉尔福伊尔的指控而予以斥责。
On Thursday, Rubio chided a reporter for asking him about the accusations against Guilfoyle while he was with her in Athens.
他说：“我们不会因为某位记者或他人根据某个消息来源写了一篇文章，就在外国机场停机坪上召开新闻发布会来处理这些事。”
他还补充道：“我甚至不知道你所报道的内容是否属实。”
“We don’t conduct these things in a press conference on a tarmac in a foreign country because you wrote a story or somebody else wrote a story because some source gave it to you,” he said, adding: “I don’t even know if what you’re reporting is true.”
与此同时，一位高级外交官员表示，有关调查的消息在国务院内部引起了高度警觉。
A senior diplomatic official, meanwhile, said the news of probe set off alarm bells throughout the State Department.
该官员称这项调查极为罕见，并表示该监督机构主要以执行常规的使馆检查工作为主，而非开展调查。
The official described the investigation as rare and said that watchdog is known primarily for performing routine embassy inspections rather than investigations.
国务院监察长办公室的一名发言人表示，该监督机构既不确认、也不否认，更不会就任何调查发表评论。
A spokesperson for the State Department inspector general’s office said the watchdog does not confirm, deny or comment on investigations.
国务院拒绝就针对吉尔福伊尔的指控或任何调查发表评论。
The State Department declined to comment on the accusations against Guilfoyle or any investigation.
美国对大使可能存在的道德违规行为进行监督调查的情况虽然罕见，但并非前所未有。
Watchdog investigations into potential ethics violations by U.S. ambassadors are rare, but not unprecedented.
在特朗普第一任总统任期内，时任美国驻英国大使且长期支持共和党的伍迪·约翰逊曾受到国务院监察长的调查，调查结果显示，他曾对使馆工作人员发表过关于种族、性别和宗教的“不当”言论。
During the first Trump administration, Woody Johnson, then the U.S. ambassador to the U.K. and a longtime Republican donor, was investigated by the State Department’s inspector general, who found he made “inappropriate” comments on race, gender and religion to embassy staff.
国务院驳回了针对约翰逊的处罚建议，称他曾观看过一部关于职场骚扰的政府视频，并要求高级官员同样观看，同时还鼓励员工参加“减少无意识偏见”的培训课程。
The State Department rejected recommendations for Johnson, saying he had watched a government video on workplace harassment and instructed senior officials to do the same, and also encouraged staff to take a training course on “mitigating unconscious bias.”
2024年，在乔·拜登总统任期内，该监督机构对美国的……驻新加坡大使乔纳森·卡普兰被指威胁其工作人员，且未能按时或提供适当文件证明约4.8万美元的差旅费用。
Under President Joe Biden in 2024, the watchdog investigated U.S. Ambassador to Singapore Jonathan Kaplan, finding the political appointee threatened his staff and failed to submit about $48,000 in travel expenses on time or with proper documentation.
针对卡普兰一事，美国国务院表示已认真对待相关建议，并进行了组织调整。
In Kaplan’s case, State said it was taking the recommendations seriously and made organizational changes.
时任白宫国家安全委员会发言人的约翰·基比当时表示：“总统始终希望他的代表……能以尊严和尊重对待他人。
“The president always wants his representatives ... to manage people with dignity and respect,” former White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said at the time.
他对国务院对此事的严肃态度感到放心。
”
“He’s comfortable that the State Department is taking this seriously.”
