The US Ambassador tried to pay off his debts. "Honey please"

It was revealed that US Ambassador to Athens Kimberly Guilfoyle asked a donor who supports Donald Trump to pay off her $100,000 credit card debt without leaving a trace before her appointment.

Hundreds of messages and correspondence examined by The Wall Street Journal newspaper show that Guilfoyle, the former fiancee of US President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., promised to gain access to senior cabinet members by using her political influence.

According to the documents, the process began when Eric Deters, a lawyer in Kentucky and a past participant in Congressional and governorship races, wanted to reach the Trump administration for his personal tax audit and legal problems.

Guilfoyle sent Deters a payment order via the Signal app on July 3, 2025, days before the embassy confirmation hearing in the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Guilfoyle, who wanted her American Express debt to be paid off, sent the message, "Honey, please, I want you to handle this for me today. You can send it here."

Deters did not send the money, stating that his marriage would be in danger if he made the payment.

Stating that he supports Trump policies, Deters stated that Guilfoyle could not deliver the results he promised and that he was disappointed.

REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL RESOURCES IN EXCHANGE FOR ACCESS TO MINISTRIES

The correspondence reveals that Guilfoyle promised to convey Deters' demands to the officials of the new administration during the ambassadorial candidacy process.

Deters demanded that the Ministry of Justice take action to extradite a doctor accused of defrauding insurers and fled to Pakistan, and to resolve his dispute with the tax office.

Guilfoyle, on the other hand, argued that he could be an intermediary, claiming that he had direct access to the head of the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Guilfoyle, who transferred Deters' tax file to IRS President Billy Long, repeatedly warned Deters in his messages not to put the process into written records.

Guilfoyle stated that he was afraid of the contacts being leaked to the public, saying, "Stop writing, you will cost me my embassy."

An unnamed FBI spokesman told the WSJ that Guilfoyle was not involved in any lobbying effort with the agency's head, Kash Patel.

Guilfoyle's attorney, Jesse Binnall, disputed the authenticity of the messages but did not provide details.

While Binnall claimed that his client was a creditor due to his event speeches, Deters stated that he did not have any debts. The US Embassy in Athens official stated that Guilfoyle passed the bipartisan control in the Senate and continued his duty with devotion.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who visited Athens, defended Guilfoyle's strong diplomacy at the press conference he held in the embassy building.

In response, Democratic members of the US Congress are calling for an investigation within the State Department into Guilfoyle's activities and business connections in the region.
