<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) stated on Sunday that he believes U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle may be investigated following reports of alleged ethics violations.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During an interview with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, Barrasso was asked about the possibility of an inquiry by the Department of State Office of Inspector General into her conduct. Recent reports from the Wall Street Journal detail allegations that Guilfoyle solicited a Trumpworld ally to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt and that Greek businessmen funded her luxurious travel arrangements.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Barrasso indicated he cannot confirm if an investigation is currently in progress, but he anticipates one may occur. A senior U.S. official informed the Associated Press that President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are considering terminating Guilfoyle's position and are displeased with her alleged actions.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">"What we’ve seen in the reports is very troubling, it’s concerning, and I’m sure there’s going to be an investigation," Barrasso said. "I would assume the State Department would be conducting that, I know that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will have oversight and look into that as well. But I think the public has a right to know what is found, and it is quite a bit of concern."</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When asked about the appropriateness of U.S. officials having their debts paid off in exchange for political access, Barrasso expressed discomfort but noted his current focus on campaigning for Republican candidates ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Reports suggest that Democrats may investigate Trump administration officials’ business ties if they regain control of the House of Representatives in November, potentially setting the stage for articles of impeachment.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">"You know, we’re going to be back after the elections," he said, "but for the next three weeks we are going to be campaigning across the country, and I’m sure we’ll discuss that later, but the focus today is making sure the American people know just how far left the Democrats have gone."</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rubio Responds to Media Questions About Guilfoyle</strong></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rubio dismissed concerns regarding Guilfoyle while speaking to reporters in Athens, asserting that the embassy is performing well and that reports should not be interpreted as evidence of guilt. Rubio recently delivered a speech in front of the Acropolis during a European tour, which received positive feedback from Republican colleagues.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Guilfoyle, 57, ended her engagement to Donald Trump Jr. in 2024. She was previously married to California Governor Gavin Newsom and has worked as a Fox News host and prosecutor. She was confirmed as ambassador to Greece in September 2025.</p>
