U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio got short with reporters on Thursday when asked to address a new report alleging that U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle engaged in potentially illegal conduct prior to assuming her post.
Rubio told reporters that he “understood the game” they were trying to play but would not debate claims published in a Wall Street Journal report, which stated Guilfoyle requested that a donor and supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump cover a $100,000 credit card balance shortly before her confirmation hearing, allegedly pledging access to administration officials in return.
