Story summary

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, is under scrutiny after a Wall Street Journal report revealed she had asked a major Trump donor to pay off her $100,000 American Express bill in exchange for access to senior administration officials before her confirmation hearing. The allegations emerged from text messages between Guilfoyle and the donor, who declined to help. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, aware of these claims, refused to comment when questioned by reporters, insisting that media reports are not gospel truth. Top Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee have called for an investigation into her conduct as ambassador. Senator John Barrasso suggested a Senate probe may follow, highlighting growing concerns about Guilfoyle’s actions in Greece.
