U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle may soon be the target of a Senate investigation following a bombshell report accusing her of influence peddling.
据《华尔街日报》报道,在吉尔福伊尔获确认为驻希腊大使之前,她曾推动一位向唐纳德·特朗普总统捐巨款的顶级捐助人偿还她10万美元的个人信用卡债务,目前她正因此遭到抨击。
Guilfoyle is under fire following a Wall Street Journal report that alleged, before she was confirmed as ambassador to Greece, she pushed a top donor to President Donald Trump to clear $100,000 in personal credit card debt.
一位参议院资深共和党人认为,在这份报道之后,调查可能很快就会展开。参议院多数党党鞭约翰·巴拉索(共和党-怀俄明州)在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部节目《面对国家》上表示:“我们在报道中看到的情况非常令人不安,令人担忧。”“而且我确信会有调查,”巴拉索说。
And a top Senate Republican believes that following that report, an investigation may soon follow. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said on CBS News’ "Face the Nation" that "what we’ve seen in the reports is very troubling, it’s concerning."

他继续说道:“我推测国务院会进行调查。我知道参议院外交关系委员会将行使监督职权并对此进行调查。但我认为公众有权知道调查结果,这确实令人非常担忧。”福克斯新闻数字团队已就可能的调查向国务院和参议员詹姆斯·里施(共和党-爱达荷州)——参议院外交关系委员会首席共和党议员——征求置评。
"I would assume the State Department would be conducting that," he continued. "I know the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will have oversight and look into that, as well. But I think the public has a right to know what was found, and it is quite a bit of concern." Fox News Digital reached out for comment on a possible investigation to the State Department and Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
吉尔福伊尔最近曾与特朗普之子小唐纳德·特朗普订婚,直到两人于2024年公开分手,她去年经参议院确认担任驻雅典大使一职。

巴拉索的预测之际,围绕吉尔福伊尔及其在雅典任职期间的指控不断增加,且有猜测认为她的任期可能即将结束。国务院监察长办公室——该机构的监察机构——已经就吉尔福伊尔此前涉嫌的不当行为展开调查。
Barrasso’s prediction comes as allegations surrounding Guilfoyle and her time in Athens mount, and as speculation that her time in the role may be coming to an end. The State Department’s Office of Inspector General, the watchdog for the agency, has already opened a probe into Guilfoyle for previous alleged misconduct.
《每日邮报》报道称,针对吉尔福伊尔在希腊的奢华生活方式的调查已经展开,其中包括对员工的虐待指控、滥用药物、与一家能源和建筑公司的密切关系以及不当接受礼物的指控。
The Daily Mail reported that an investigation was already underway into Guilfoyle’s luxury lifestyle in Greece that included allegations of mistreatment of staff, substance abuse, close ties to an energy and construction company and the improper acceptance of gifts.
前美国公民及移民服务局官员及其同伙因涉嫌96万美元公民身份贿赂计划被起诉。针对她的最新指控是,她据称曾向特朗普捐款人埃里克·德特斯索要,要求他直接向美国运通公司支付一笔10万美元的账单,并劝他不要留下纸质痕迹,以此作为交换,她表示可以帮助他获得进入政府高层官员的途径。德特斯表示他从未进行过该笔付款。
FORMER USCIS OFFICIAL, ACCOMPLICE CHARGED IN ALLEGED $960K CITIZENSHIP BRIBERY SCHEME The latest claim against her is that she allegedly solicited Trump donor Eric Deters to pay off a $100,000 American Express bill directly to the credit card company, urged him not to leave a paper trail and offered to help him gain access to top administration officials in exchange. Deters said he never made the payment.

就在该报道之后,据《美联社》周日报道,引述一位美国高级官员的话称,特朗普和国务卿马尔科·卢比奥因吉尔福伊尔据称的行为而“极度愤怒”,并正在考虑将其撤职。
In the wake of that report, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are said to be "extremely pissed off" by Guilfoyle’s alleged conduct and are weighing her removal, The Associated Press reported Sunday, citing a senior U.S. official.
卢比奥在《华尔街日报》报道这些指控不久后进行了反驳,他说:“你们这些人到处走动,以为因为某个消息来源告诉你们某件事,而你们报道了它,这就成了真理了。”
Rubio fired back shortly after the Wall Street Journal reported the allegations, saying, "You guys walk around thinking that because some source told you something, and you reported it, it’s the gospel."
“这不是真理,”卢比奥说。“对我来说,这也不是真理。我们做事的方式不是这样。”
"It’s not the gospel," Rubio said. "It’s not the gospel for me. That’s not the way we do things."
