Guilfoyle accused of asking Trump donor for $100k
Democrats in Congress want U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle to address a report that she asked a Trump donor to pay off her $100,000 credit card bill.
According to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, Guilfoyle offered conservative media personality Eric Deters access to top administration officials in exchange for the funds. This is said to have happened days before her Senate confirmation hearing last year.
In a statement provided to the PBS News Hour, Rep. Robert Garcia said it “would be a brazen abuse of power and a stunning addition to Guilfoyle’s existing record of scandal and corruption.”
Guilfoyle’s lawyers deny The Journal’s reporting.
