一名知情人士周日透露,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑解除金伯利·吉尔福伊尔的美国驻希腊大使职务,此前她的行为接连曝出令人难堪的爆料。

特朗普一直在关注有关吉尔福伊尔的报道,后者与特朗普长子小唐纳德·特朗普订婚四年。报道称,吉尔福伊尔在获任命前曾以大使身份接受奢华礼品,并为换取钱财而向他人提供接触政府官员的机会。

这些报道令政府高级官员感到恼怒,尤其是在国务卿马可·卢比奥正在雅典发表一场从雅典卫城发起的关于西方民主的高调演讲之际,相关爆料被公之于众。

该人士表示,特朗普预计很快就会决定是否解雇吉尔福伊尔。周五当被CNN问及相关指控时,特朗普并未为吉尔福伊尔辩护。

“我刚听说这事。太糟糕了。我的意思是,我不太了解,”特朗普说,“我只是略有所闻,了解不多,但她一直都很友善。”

CNN已联系白宫寻求置评。

前特朗普捐赠者埃里克·德特斯称,在吉尔福伊尔获得参议院确认任命的前几天,她曾通过短信要求他转账10万美元,用于偿还美国运通信用卡的欠款。德特斯最终并未转账,称当时他没有足够的流动资产。

率先报道这些短信的《华尔街日报》援引这名大使的律师的话称,吉尔福伊尔对短信的真实性提出了质疑。

该知情人士表示,吉尔福伊尔上周也曾向政府官员否认自己发送过这些短信。

吉尔福伊尔一直与特朗普家族保持密切联系。在与小唐纳德·特朗普分手后,她获得了驻希腊这个待遇优厚的大使职位。

总统及其儿子的盟友告诉CNN,他们认为这一事件令人难堪,但目前尚不清楚吉尔福伊尔是否会因此受到处分。特朗普曾多次明确表示,当盟友利用与他的关系谋取私利时,他会很不高兴。

副总统J·D·万斯周五未就吉尔福伊尔是否应受处分作出评判,称他拒绝“在舆论法庭上审判他人”。

但这位副总统表示,总体而言,他对以权谋私的交易感到不适。“当然,我不喜欢任何人向他人出售接触政府官员的机会,尤其是高级政府官员,”他说。

“我们先来查清真相。显然,如果确实发生了不当行为,那么相关人员必须为此承担后果,”他说。

Trump considering firing Kimberly Guilfoyle after embarrassing revelations, source says

President Donald Trump is weighing whether to dismiss Kimberly Guilfoyle from her position as US ambassador to Greece after a string of embarrassing revelations about her conduct, a person familiar with the matter said Sunday.

Trump has been monitoring reports claiming Guilfoyle, who was engaged to Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr. for four years, accepted lavish gifts as ambassador and sought money in exchange for providing access to administration figures before she was confirmed.

The reports have irked senior administration officials, particularly since they emerged when Secretary of State Marco Rubio was visiting Athens for a high-profile speech on Western democracy delivered from the Acropolis.

Trump is expected to decide soon whether to fire Guilfoyle, the person said. The president offered no defense of Guilfoyle when questioned by CNN about the allegations Friday.

“I just heard about it. Too bad. I mean, I don’t know,” Trump said. “I just heard a little bit about it. I don’t know too much, but she was always very nice.”

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

Eric Deters, a former Trump donor, said Guilfoyle asked him in a text message to wire her $100,000 to pay off an American Express card in the days before her Senate confirmation. Deters ultimately did not wire Guilfoyle the money, saying he didn’t have the liquid assets at the time.

A lawyer for the ambassador told the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the messages, that Guilfoyle disputed the authenticity of the messages.

Guilfoyle denied to administration officials last week that she sent the messages, the person familiar said.

Guilfoyle has remained close to the Trump family. After her breakup with Donald Trump Jr., she received the plum assignment in Greece.

Allies of the president and his son told CNN they felt the episode is embarrassing, though it’s not clear whether there will be consequences for Guilfoyle. Trump has repeatedly made clear he is not happy when allies profit off of their relationship with him.

Vice President JD Vance on Friday withheld judgment on whether there should be consequences for Guilfoyle, saying he refused to “try people in the court of public opinion.”

But the vice president said, in general, he was uncomfortable with access-for-pay schemes. “Of course I don’t like anybody selling access to another government official, certainly a high-level government official,” he said.

“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.
