Trump donor and former Kentucky gubernatorial candidate Eric Deters has accused U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle of soliciting a $100,000 payment to cover her credit card debt in exchange for political access. Deters alleges the request occurred in July 2025, shortly before Guilfoyle's Senate confirmation. While Deters provided text messages he claims support his allegations, Guilfoyle's attorney has disputed their authenticity and suggested any requested funds might have been for travel reimbursements. High-ranking officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have responded to the allegations by either expressing general disapproval of selling access or stating they have no specific knowledge of the situation's veracity.
