Rubio refuses to comment on Guilfoyle allegations
Rubio said he had not reviewed the report and would not address allegations of a $100,000 credit-card payment request.
- On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio refused to comment on a Wall Street Journal report alleging improper conduct by U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle before she took her post.
- The report alleges Guilfoyle asked a donor and supporter of President Donald Trump to pay a $100,000 credit card bill before her confirmation, promising him access to administration officials.
- Additional claims in the Journal suggest Guilfoyle promoted a Greek construction company's business interests and allowed its lobbyist into private diplomatic meetings while stating the U.S. could undermine the Greek government.
- Congressional Democrats are investigating the claims, with top members of the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations committees calling for an inquiry; Rubio declined to say if he would open one.
- Dismissing the media reports as not "the gospel," Rubio defended the embassy's work in Greece on Thursday, stating it is "doing a great job" despite ongoing investigation calls.
