Kimberly Guilfoyle Allegedly Requested $100,000 from Donor Before Senate HearingPreviousNext

US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle reportedly asked Republican donor Eric Deters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill days before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025. According to The Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle offered to use her Trump administration connections to assist Deters with tax and legal issues in exchange. Deters declined the request, citing personal consequences. Guilfoyle's attorneys have disputed the authenticity of the messages. Congressional Democrats have called for an investigation into her conduct amid these allegations.
