为保住工作，她声称那些有罪的短信是 AI 生成的；特朗普对这些有害披露感到恼火，白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚表示，白宫已要求金伯莉·吉尔福伊尔辞去美国驻希腊大使职务。金伯莉·吉尔福伊尔正忙于保住她的工作。
To save her job, she claimed the incriminating texts were AI generated; Trump grew annoyed with the damaging revelations White House press secretary Katie Zacharia said the White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to step down as U.S. ambassador to Greece. Kimberly Guilfoyle was scrambling to save her job.
随着有害披露不断增多，特朗普总统的希腊大使开始给政府官员和与总统关系密切的人打电话，淡化《华尔街日报》报道中暗示她利用职务谋取私利的内容。
As damaging revelations piled up, President Trump’s ambassador to Greece started dialing up administration officials and people close to the president, playing down Wall Street Journal reporting that suggested she was using her position for personal gain.
据知情人士透露，吉尔福伊尔自上月下旬起就对自己的工作感到担忧，当时《华尔街日报》披露她在与该公司最高说客密切合作的同时，为一家希腊建筑公司进行宣传。这位大使随后开始给政府官员和知名的特朗普支持者打电话，常在雅典的凌晨时分，寻求他们的支持，知情人士说。
Guilfoyle had been worried about her job since late last month, according to people familiar with the matter, when the Journal revealed she had been promoting a Greek construction firm while working closely with the company’s top lobbyist. The ambassador began calling administration officials and prominent Trump supporters, often in the early hours in Athens, to ask for their backing, the people said.
当《华尔街日报》发表第二篇调查报道，揭示她在去年确认听证会前曾向一位特朗普捐助者索要 10 万美元的短信时，吉尔福伊尔联系白宫官员称这些短信是 AI 生成的。知情人士称，官员们并不相信她的说法。《华尔街日报》记者核实了该捐助者短信的真实性。
When the Journal published a second investigation revealing text messages that showed she had solicited $100,000 from a Trump donor in the run-up to her confirmation hearing last year, Guilfoyle reached out to White House officials to say the text messages were AI generated. The officials didn’t believe her claims, the people said. Journal reporters verified the authenticity of the donor’s text messages.
