社群網路盛傳有人在美國司法部網站查到一間名為「Gephardt Group Government Affairs」的政治公關公司，自2018年起有16次我駐美單位付費記錄，為遊說裴洛西來訪，我國一共付費314萬9,377.58美元。
外交部反駁，指此說純屬憑空捏造，絕非事實。
外交部解釋，我國駐美代表處聘用公關公司，是我國政府長年一貫作法，
協助推動政務工作，是全面性的努力，而非針對單一目標或個案。
裴洛西訪問團到訪，是美國政府公費支應，在台行程統一由美國在台協會台北辦事處（AIT）洽排。

Reports on social media cite the website of the U.S. Department of Justice pointing to Gephardt Group Government Affairs, a political public relations company, for receiving 16 payments made by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) in the United States to lobby Speaker Pelosi to visit.

MOFA retorted, stating that the allegation is purely fabricated and not true. MOFA explained TECRO's retaining public relations companies is consistent with long-standing government practice. It is a comprehensive effort and not for a single target or individual case.
The visit by Pelosi's delegation was funded by the U.S. government, and its itinerary in Taiwan was arranged by the American Institute in Taiwan.
