"The United States fully supports United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and Special Representative Kai Eide in UNAMA's oversight of and support for Afghanistan's election processes on behalf of the world community," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in a statement.
"We are in close cooperation with UNAMA and Ambassador Eide, and believe that the agency and its leadership have shown sound judgment in the conduct of their mission."
The election, marred by accusations of widespread fraud, is still unresolved after almost two months and electoral officials are currently auditing suspicious votes in the hope of reaching a final result by the end of next week.
But Eide has rejected Galbraith's accusations, saying Thursday that charges the United Nations "covered up or that I asked for fraud to be covered up are patently false."
