Senator Barrasso predicts inquiry into United States Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle

United States Senator John Barrasso said on Sunday that he believes United States Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle will be investigated over alleged ethics violations. Barrasso made the comments during an interview on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, according to the Washington Examiner. [1]

The Washington Examiner reported that Barrasso was questioned about a potential inquiry into Guilfoyle by the Department of State Office of Inspector General. The discussion followed a series of reports in The Wall Street Journal regarding her conduct in office. [1]

Allegations of improper conduct could threaten the position of Guilfoyle, who serves as ambassador and holds a role at the White House. The White House is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., and serves as the official residence and workplace of the president of the United States. [1][8]

Separately, the Department of Justice is investigating whether major television networks violated antitrust laws when they briefly suspended pool coverage of the White House, according to reports from CNBC, thejournal.ie, and MSNBC. ABC News Australia reported that the probe focuses on a potential group boycott. [3][4][6][7]

According to thejournal.ie and MSNBC, the networks stopped coverage last month after President Donald Trump barred CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House over reports he described as fake news. Thejournal.ie reported that a federal judge later reversed the decision to bar the news organisations. [4][6]
