Kimberly Guilfoyle is facing the most serious crisis since she assumed the position of Washington's ambassador to Greece, after correspondence attributed to her revealed that she asked a Trump donor to pay her credit card bill worth $100,000, amid accusations of linking the money to political influence.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US ambassador to Greece and the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., the son of US President Donald Trump, may lose her diplomatic position, after accusations escalated related to her dealings with a Republican donor, in a case that now puts the White House and the State Department facing embarrassing questions about the limits of the relationship between money and political influence.

According to American press reports, including an investigation published by the Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle asked the businessman and Republican donor Eric Deters, in text messages, to transfer $100,000 directly to American Express to pay her credit card bill, indicating, according to the published messages, that the transfer would not leave a visible financial impact in the way she talked about.

The seriousness of the case lies in the fact that the correspondence, according to what the report stated, also included talk about the possibility of assistance in reaching prominent officials within the Trump administration, at a time when Deters was seeking assistance regarding personal and legal files. This raised questions about the possibility of using political relations to achieve private interests, although these accusations have not been resolved judicially.

Reports say that Deters did not pay the required amount, but he later confirmed that what happened, from his point of view, exceeded the limits of a normal financial relationship. He also talked about previous payments to Guilfoyle in exchange for her appearances at events and events, which makes the distinction between fees for past services and allegations related to political influence a fundamental focus of the case.

The crisis is no longer limited to a financial bill. Other reports made allegations about the ambassador's behavior during her work in Athens, including her dealings with officials and employees, and her relationships with commercial parties. These reports sparked calls from Democratic lawmakers to conduct an investigation into the extent of its commitment to the ethical rules regulating the work of American officials abroad.

According to the Associated Press, Trump and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, are studying the possibility of dismissing Guilfoyle, amid increasing reports and accusations, while the next step is expected to become clear after reviewing the developments. The agency reported that the Inspector General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is looking into the allegations, but this does not necessarily mean the start of a full official investigation or the confirmation of violations.

On the other hand, Guilfoyle's lawyers rejected the accusations, stressing that she had not committed any violations, and that the amount she requested was due in exchange for services and media appearances prior to her candidacy for the position of ambassador. They also defended her travel arrangements, stressing that they were made in accordance with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ guidelines and rules.

It is noteworthy that Kimberly Guilfoyle (57 years old) is a former presenter on Fox News and a former prosecutor in California. She was the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., and was previously married to Gavin Newsom (the current governor of California) when he was mayor of San Francisco.

She was appointed US Ambassador to Greece in 2025, and has a remarkable media presence in Athens, where she appeared on the cover of Vogue Greece and participated in prominent social events.
