Barrasso Expects Guilfoyle Investigation Amid 'Troubling' Reports
Top Senate Republican John Barrasso expects a Kimberly Guilfoyle investigation amid mounting scrutiny of the ambassador.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso has expressed concern over allegations surrounding former U.S. ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle. According to Barrasso, who serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the panel will investigate the matter and the public has a right to know the findings. The controversy stems from reports that Guilfoyle allegedly sought $100,000 from a wealthy Republican donor shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing, and that she promoted the interests of a Greek energy company and encouraged governments to do business with a Greek construction company.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Athens has denied the allegations as unsubstantiated. Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing and her lawyer disputes the authenticity of messages suggesting she asked Deters to pay her debt.
