Donor claims Kimberly Guilfoyle pushed him to wire $100,000 for Trump administration access

Kimberly Guilfoyle, currently the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, has been accused by donor Eric Deters of soliciting a $100,000 payment to her personal American Express credit card in exchange for access to the Trump administration. The allegations, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, include messages purportedly sent by Guilfoyle urging Deters to make the payment and expressing concern about a lack of discretion. Guilfoyle’s legal representation has disputed the authenticity of these messages, suggesting instead that the donor owed her money for prior travel and speaking engagements. In response, Democratic lawmakers have called for investigations, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance have declined to comment directly on the specific details of the case.
