Trump donor and former Kentucky political candidate Eric Deters has accused U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle of soliciting $100,000 to pay off her credit card debt in exchange for political access. Deters alleges the request occurred in July 2025, shortly before Guilfoyle's Senate confirmation hearing. Guilfoyle's attorney has disputed the authenticity of messages provided by Deters and suggested any funds discussed could have been reimbursements for travel and speaking expenses. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have both responded cautiously to the allegations, expressing general disapproval of 'selling access' while stating they lack specific knowledge of the claims.
