“Dear, please accomplish this today.” The US ambassador’s correspondence scandal in Greece threatens her with dismissal.

NBC previously indicated that there was an investigation into Guilfoyle and its embassy against the backdrop of allegations of extortion of $100,000.

A senior US official told the agency that Trump and (US Secretary of State Marco) Rubio are "very angry" about the reports regarding Guilfoyle's behavior, and will likely decide on next steps this week.

According to what NBC reported, the investigation began after legal advisor Eric Deters, a longtime Trump supporter and donor, accused Guilfoyle that, days before the hearings for her appointment to the position in 2025, she began blackmailing him with $100,000 to pay a bill in a bank, in exchange for access to high-ranking officials in the Trump administration. Deters said that he did not transfer the amount to her, and he also provided the channel with correspondence with the ambassador.

Perhaps the most notable thing in the exchange of text messages was that Guilfoyle asked Deters to transfer the amount directly to her American Express card account because that meant that he “would not appear anywhere,” and in return she promised him “unconditional access to Trump World” and that “he can ask for anything,” as she said in one of the messages: “Dear, please do this for me today.”

While the ambassador's lawyer questioned the credibility of the published messages, and said that any accusation against her of committing violations was "unfounded," indicating that any previous amounts were in exchange for legitimate services.

The US Embassy defended Guilfoyle, stressing its adherence to the State Department's ethics rules and guidelines, and describing the allegations as lacking evidence.

In this context, media reports claimed that Guilfoyle promoted the interests of the Greek construction and energy company Actor, and allowed the company’s lobbyists to attend private diplomatic meetings.

Reports also spoke of her traveling on private planes and luxury trips sponsored by Greek businessmen, including Alexandros Exarchou, president of Actor, and Nicholas Tsakos (a shipping magnate).

Previously, the Wall Street Journal quoted Guilfoyle as telling the Greek Minister of Energy that the United States “can do that to any country we want. We can do it here,” implicitly indicating that Washington had a role in overthrowing the Romanian government, and that it was capable of repeating the matter in Greece, when the Romanian parliament voted to vote no confidence in the government of former Prime Minister Ilia Bologan, after the parties withdrew from the ruling coalition and participated in submitting a motion of no confidence last May.

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.
