Rubio and Vance Respond to Guilfoyle Debt Allegations

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance issued diverging responses to a Wall Street Journal report alleging that U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle requested payments to settle personal debts in exchange for access to government officials.

Speaking from Greece, Rubio dismissed the report and cautioned against treating source-based reporting as "the gospel." He stated that he did not know if the allegations were true or not.

In Washington, Vice President Vance addressed the matter through a hypothetical question. He stated that he did not "love" the scenario of an ambassador requesting such payments, though he noted he lacked specific details and intended to gather more information before providing a definitive comment.
