Report: Guilfoyle sought $100,000 debt relief from Trump donor; Rubio declines comment

The Wall Street Journal reported Guilfoyle asked a Trump donor to settle her $100,000 credit-card debt before her confirmation as ambassador to Greece.

• Guilfoyle wrote to donor Eric Deters in July 2025, asking him to pay the American Express balance; Deters declined, citing risk to his marriage.
• Secretary of State Marco Rubio declined to comment while in Athens, saying the reports were not "gospel."
• Top Democrats on the House and Senate foreign affairs committees asked Rubio to review Guilfoyle's conduct as ambassador.
• A lawyer for Guilfoyle disputed the authenticity of the messages Deters shared with the Journal.
