🇺🇸 Kimberly Guilfoyle at the heart of a new controversy
The U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, reportedly asked a donor to Donald Trump to send her $100,000 to cover a debt to American Express, a few days before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025.
According to messages reviewed by the Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle allegedly asked Eric Deters to make the transfer directly to American Express, specifying that the transaction would leave no apparent trace. The donor also says she offered to help him gain access to Trump administration officials.
Deters, who says he has already paid hundreds of thousands of dollars related to political events, ultimately refused to pay the $100,000. Guilfoyle’s lawyer disputes the authenticity of the messages presented by the WSJ.
The case raises new ethical and political questions about the ambassador, as several U.S. lawmakers are already calling for a review of her activities. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, questioned in Athens, declined to comment on the new allegations.
💬 A case that is likely to fuel the debate in Washington about the boundary between political influence, private donations, and personal interests.
