美國總統川普與國務卿魯比歐正考慮撤換駐希臘大使吉爾佛爾(Kimberly Guilfoyle)。美聯社12日引述美國官員指出,兩人對吉爾佛爾近期接連遭媒體披露的不當行為指控感到「極度憤怒」,預計在哥倫布日連假結束後,於本週決定是否採取行動。吉爾佛爾曾任福斯新聞主播,也是川普長子小川普(Donald Trump Jr.)的前未婚妻。
《華爾街日報》自9月底起陸續報導吉爾佛爾任職前後涉及的爭議,包括她在參議院任命聽證會前夕,傳訊息要求一名川普支持者代付10萬美元(約新台幣320萬元)的信用卡帳單,並稱可安排對方接觸川普政府官員。她也被指曾威脅希臘官員、替當地一家營建與能源公司爭取利益,並讓該公司的遊說人士參與非公開外交會議。
美聯社指出,魯比歐上週訪問雅典時,相關指控已接連曝光,吉爾佛爾仍出席多數活動,並在魯比歐抵達時上前給他一個熊抱。魯比歐離開雅典前,記者追問相關報導是否屬實,他表示自己無法確認指控真偽,並批評媒體不應把消息來源的說法當成定論。美國官員向美聯社透露,隨著相關報導增加,魯比歐的不滿也日益加深。
律師否認不當行為
吉爾佛爾的律師11日晚間發表聲明,否認她有任何不當行為。律師表示,她向川普支持者追討的款項,是獲提名大使之前從事公開演講及出席活動的未付報酬,並稱正評估法律途徑追討欠款。對於搭乘私人飛機的指控,律師則表示,吉爾佛爾每次出行前均依國務院指引辦理,並遵守差旅規定。
美聯社另引述一名美國官員指出,國務院督察長正在了解相關指控,但另一名官員表示,無法確認是否已正式展開調查。美國聯邦眾議院外交事務委員會、參議院外交關係委員會的民主黨首席議員,以及眾議院監督與政府改革委員會的民主黨首席議員,均已要求調查相關事件。
吉爾佛爾曾任加州檢察官及福斯新聞主播,也曾與民主黨籍加州州長紐森(Gavin Newsom)結婚,之後與小川普訂婚,兩人後來分手。
