Story summary

In July 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported that Kimberly Guilfoyle, then a nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Greece, asked Eric Deters, a Trump donor and fundraiser, to pay off her $100,000 American Express bill in exchange for access to top Trump administration officials who could assist with his legal and tax issues. Deters declined the request after weeks of negotiations, stating it was "not going to work." Guilfoyle repeatedly texted him to stop creating a paper trail, emphasizing her need for the payment urgently. Rubio, now U.S. Secretary of State, refused to comment on these allegations while in Greece, dismissing media inquiries as mere attempts to generate headlines rather than legitimate questions.Democrats have called for an investigation into Guilfoyle's conduct, but details remain unclear.
