Vice President JD Vance said he would cooperate with any congressional investigation into corruption allegations against former U.S. Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, telling a CBS town hall audience in Michigan on Saturday night that the administration follows the law.
CBS correspondent Tony Dokupil pressed Vance on the matter during the televised event, asking directly about allegations that Guilfoyle had been selling access to the White House. Vance did not dodge the question.
“First of all, if somebody’s selling access to the White House, that’s disgusting and despicable and they should suffer consequences,” Vance said.
He added a caveat about where his judgment on the matter would come from.
“I want to make those judgments based on the facts and not based on a random news media report that I read.”
Dokupil then moved to a related question: congressional Democrats have said they intend to investigate the matter if they win control of the House or Senate. He asked Vance whether the administration would cooperate with subpoenas issued under a Democrat-controlled Congress.
“Of course I will. Look, I mean, we follow the law,” Vance answered.
The exchange took place as Vance continues a round of campaign appearances ahead of the midterms, making the case to voters in battleground states like Michigan that Republicans remain the better choice over Democrats.
