Neutral Summary

Trump donor and former Kentucky political candidate Eric Deters has accused Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, of soliciting a $100,000 payment to her American Express credit card in exchange for access to Trump administration officials. The alleged incident occurred in July 2025, prior to Guilfoyle’s Senate confirmation. Deters has provided text messages as evidence, which Guilfoyle’s attorney disputes as authentic, suggesting instead that any funds discussed were legitimate reimbursements for travel and speaking fees. High-ranking officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have declined to comment on the specific allegations while expressing general disapproval of selling access. Democratic lawmakers have called for investigations into Guilfoyle’s conduct following this and previous reports of alleged conflicts of interest in Greece.
