An American congressman is asking the State Department for explanations about the possible involvement of the U.S. in the fall of the Bolojan Government, following Kimberly Guilfoyle’s statements

Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks is asking U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to clarify whether the United States had any role in changing the Bolojan Government and whether the statements attributed to U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle are genuine. The letter was sent to the State Department on October 1, following the publication of information in The Wall Street Journal.

Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, wants to know whether the State Department, the White House, the National Security Council, or other U.S. institutions authorized or coordinated actions intended to influence the composition of or continued hold on power of the Romanian Government.

The congressman is also requesting explanations about when U.S. authorities learned of the statements attributed to the ambassador, any measures taken, and communications with the governments of Romania and Greece.

“Is the account in The Wall Street Journal accurate, according to which Ambassador Guilfoyle essentially stated that the United States participated in the collapse of the Romanian government—or could cause that collapse—and that it could do the same in Greece? If not, please specify how the Department understood the statements.

a) What was Ambassador Guilfoyle relying on when she suggested that the United States played a role in the collapse of the Romanian government?

b) Did the Department, the White House, the National Security Council, or any other U.S. government entity authorize or direct any activity intended to influence the composition or survival of the Romanian government?” the American congressman’s letter states.

The State Department must respond by October 15, 2026.

The request includes internal documents concerning Guilfoyle’s visits to Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania, transportation provided by private individuals or companies, ethics recommendations, and ties to businesspeople such as Christos Marafatsos and Alexandros Exarchou. It also seeks information about a meeting held in Bucharest on March 31, 2026, with Sorin Grindeanu, Bogdan Ivan, and presidential adviser Bogdan Vlădică. Grindeanu and George Simion have denied discussing the removal of the Bolojan Government with the ambassador.
