POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — A report from the Wall Street Journal has revealed that U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle allegedly requested a major Trump supporter to cover a $100,000 American Express bill, according to text messages between her and Kentucky businessman Eric Deters.

The messages, which surfaced as part of a broader investigation into Guilfoyle’s communications, show she reached out to Deters in the days leading up to her confirmation hearing in July 2025. The exchanges, which include a PDF with payment instructions, suggest she was seeking urgent financial assistance, while also expressing concern about leaving a paper trail.

Deters, who had previously sought help from Guilfoyle with tax and legal issues, reportedly declined the request, citing personal and financial constraints. His response included a reference to a potential divorce, indicating he was unwilling to comply. Guilfoyle’s legal team has since disputed the authenticity of the messages, though no specific details were provided. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged the report but refrained from commenting on its validity.
