Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, faced allegations in a Wall Street Journal report that she had asked a Trump donor named Eric Deters to pay off her $100,000 American Express bill before her Senate confirmation hearing for her ambassadorial position. In text messages, Guilfoyle allegedly promised access to top Trump administration officials if Deters paid the debt. When questioned by reporters in Athens about these allegations, Marco Rubio, the U.S. secretary of state, refused to comment, stating that media reports were not "the gospel." Democrats on both the House foreign affairs and Senate foreign relations committees have requested an investigation into Guilfoyle's conduct as ambassador.
