美国副总统JD·万斯周四表示,他反对任何为换取接触特朗普政府官员的机会而谋取经济利益的行为。此前有报道称,美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔在确认任命前曾寻求资金,并承诺为捐赠者提供接触政府高级官员的机会。
当记者问及如果美国大使试图以换取资金为条件提供接触机会时,他作何反应时,万斯说道:“显然我不喜欢这种做法。” 该记者并未具体点名吉尔福伊尔。
《华尔街日报》周三报道称,吉尔福伊尔曾向一位捐赠者、前国会候选人索要10万美元,用于偿还美国运通的账单。美国有线电视新闻网已联系吉尔福伊尔求证。这位大使的律师告诉《华尔街日报》,吉尔福伊尔否认相关短信的真实性。

万斯表示他不确定该事件的具体细节,并在一场关于签证欺诈的新闻发布会上保留进一步评论的权利。
但这位副总统总体表示,他对以权换钱的交易感到不适。
“当然,我不喜欢任何人出售接触另一名政府官员的机会,更何况是高级别政府官员,”他说。
“但你知道,我猜你说的是某个具体案例,我无法确定你所说的情况确实如你描述的那样,”他补充道。
据《华尔街日报》报道,这位捐赠者埃里克·德特斯曾寻求吉尔福伊尔帮助“就个人税务和法律问题引起新一届特朗普政府的关注”。
据《华尔街日报》报道,在吉尔福伊尔的确认听证会举行前几天,她曾给德特斯发短信称:“亲爱的,请帮我今天搞定这件事。” 报道称,德特斯并未支付这笔款项。

‘I don’t love that’: Vance signals discomfort after report alleges ambassador sought funds for access to Trump administration

Vice President JD Vance said Thursday he took issue with anyone seeking financial gain in exchange for access to Trump administration officials after a report claimed Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US ambassador to Greece, sought funds and offered access to top administration officials ahead of her confirmation.
“Obviously I don’t love that,” Vance said when a reporter asked whether he had any reaction to a scenario where an American ambassador tried to exchange access for funds. The reporter did not name Guilfoyle specifically.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Guilfoyle had asked a donor and former congressional candidate for $100,000 to pay off an American Express bill. CNN has reached out to Guilfoyle. A lawyer for the ambassador told the Journal that Guilfoyle disputed the authenticity of the messages.

Vance, who said he was unsure of the specifics of the episode, reserved further comment during a press conference on visa fraud.
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.
“But you know, I assume you’re talking about a specific case, and I can’t say with confidence that the case you’re talking about is actually reflective of of the way you’re describing it,” he added.
According to the Journal, the donor, Eric Deters, had been seeking Guilfoyle’s help in “getting the attention of the new Trump administration on some personal tax and legal issues.”
“Honey please I need you to get this done for me today,” Guilfoyle texted Deters days ahead of her confirmation hearing, according to the Journal. Deters didn’t make the payment, the newspaper reported.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
