Vance on Guilfoyle texts: If ‘something bad’ happened, ‘people have to suffer consequences’
Vance said he did not know the details, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio also declined to comment on the reported $100,000 payment request.
- The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle allegedly requested $100,000 from donor Eric Deters to pay off credit card debt in exchange for government access, though Guilfoyle disputes the authenticity of the messages.
- Before her 2025 Senate confirmation hearing, Guilfoyle reportedly pressed Deters to wire funds directly to American Express, allegedly promising access to top administration officials in exchange.
- Addressing the controversy Friday in Ohio, Vice President JD Vance stated he would not judge the situation in the 'court of public opinion' and added, 'if there was something bad that happened, then people have to suffer consequences for it.'
- During his trip to Greece on Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the administration, pushing back against reporters and stating, 'You guys are not going to be our only source of information in the world.'
- Democrats have requested a State Department review of the ambassador's conduct, while critics online attacked the administration's response, though some supporters defended the officials against efforts to tar leading Republican candidates in 2028.
