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.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
