Calls grow for inquiry into allegations against US ambassador in Greece

• 

  US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle is facing calls for an investigation after reports alleged she sought $100,000 from a donor.

• 

  The Wall Street Journal reported that Guilfoyle asked Trump supporter Eric Deters for the money shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing.

• 

  The reports said Deters had sought help drawing the Trump administration’s attention to personal tax and legal matters and had offered payments of up to $1 million if successful.

• 

  Guilfoyle’s lawyer disputes the authenticity of the messages, while Deters said he never owed her money and never intended to send the payment.

• 

  Republican Senator John Barrasso said he expected the State Department to investigate, and a Senate committee would also examine the matter.
