华盛顿讯——美国总统特朗普表示,他和其政府正“考虑”解雇金伯利·吉尔福伊尔的美国驻希腊大使职务。此前,吉尔福伊尔的一名同伙指控她曾要求对方电汇10万美元以偿还其美国运通信用卡账单,以此换取在她的参议院确认听证会前为特朗普政府提供帮助。
“嗯,我们正在考虑,”当被问及是否考虑解雇吉尔福伊尔时,总统在前往俄亥俄州的路上对记者说道。“我们对此不满。”
据熟悉此事的消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,吉尔福伊尔已知晓特朗普先生正在考虑解雇她。消息人士称,她一直在与律师沟通,并向特朗普政府助手寻求建议。
商人埃里克·德特斯上周告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,当吉尔福伊尔索要资金时,他“毫不怀疑这是权钱交易”。德特斯还向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻提供了他与吉尔福伊尔的短信截图,其中一条信息显示她似乎要求他转账。德特斯表示,他从未给过她这笔钱。
“不幸的是,对金伯利·吉尔福伊尔来说,在当时那个时刻,我没有10万美元闲钱给她,否则我真的会蠢到去这么做。”
据熟悉此事的消息人士上周向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,白宫官员已确认吉尔福伊尔与德特斯之间的短信是真实的。他们表示,一些特朗普助手对吉尔福伊尔的行为表示不满。
吉尔福伊尔的律师向《华尔街日报》否认了这些短信的真实性,该报最早报道了此事。

该报周末还报道称,吉尔福伊尔在录音中吹嘘希腊商人曾为她的旅行买单,并且据称她还怂恿外国政府与其中一位大亨开展业务。
由特朗普先生提名担任美国驻希腊最高外交代表的吉尔福伊尔,是小唐纳德·特朗普的前未婚妻。她的确认听证会于2025年7月举行,并于同年9月获得批准。
在上周国务卿马可·鲁比奥访问希腊期间,她曾高调露面。当时,鲁比奥并未回应有关德特斯指控的问题,他对记者表示:“我不会就几小时前才发布的报道发表评论。”
Trump says he’s “looking at” firing Kimberly Guilfoyle: “We’re not happy”

Washington — President Trump said he and his administration are “looking at” firing Kimberly Guilfoyle from her position as U.S. ambassador to Greece, after an associate of Guilfoyle’s alleged she asked him to wire $100,000 to pay her American Express bill in exchange for her help with the Trump administration ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing.
“Well, we’re looking at it,” the president told reporters on his way to Ohio when asked if he’s considering firing Guilfoyle. “We’re not happy.”
Guilfoyle is aware that Mr. Trump is debating firing her, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. She has been talking to her lawyer and asking Trump administration aides for advice, the sources said.
Businessman Eric Deters told CBS News last week he has “no doubt it was pay-to-play” when Guilfoyle asked for funds. Deters also provided CBS News with screenshots of his texts with Guilfoyle, including one message in which she appeared to ask him to wire money. Deters said he never gave her the money.
“Unfortunately for Kimberly Guilfoyle, at that time, at that moment in time, I didn’t have $100,000 to spare to give to Kimberly Guilfoyle, or I actually would have been a dumbass enough to do it.”
White House officials were told that the text messages between Guilfoyle and Deters were authentic, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News last week. Some Trump aides expressed displeasure about Guilfoyle’s actions, they said.
Guilfoyle’s lawyer disputed the authenticity of the texts to The Wall Street Journal, which was first to report on them.

The Journal also reported this weekend that Guilfoyle boasted in audio recordings about Greek businessmen who paid for her travel, and reportedly encouraged foreign governments to do business with one of the tycoons.
Guilfoyle, nominated by Mr. Trump to serve as his top envoy to Greece, is the ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. Her confirmation hearing was held in July 2025, and she was confirmed in September of that year.
She was highly visible during Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Greece last week. At the time, Rubio did not respond to questions about Deter’s allegations, telling reporters: “I’m not going to comment on a story that literally posted a few hours ago.”
