Vice President JD Vance has rebuked anyone selling access to government officials following a bombshell report that accused Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, of texting a donor to President Donald Trump to ask for money.
Days before her Senate confirmation hearing on July 9, 2025, Guilfoyle, the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., pleaded with Eric Deters, who was trying to get the Trump administration’s attention for personal tax and legal issues, to send $100,000 to pay off her American Express card, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Wednesday.
