Leaked messages show the US ambassador to Greece asking a wealthy donor to wire her $100,000, a bad look for the Trump administration and a likely target for future prosecutors.

• Guilfoyle allegedly asked a Kentucky radio host to send $100,000 straight to her American Express account, telling him it "won't show up anywhere."
• The money was needed before her Senate confirmation hearing, where she had to disclose her finances; the debt was later paid off by someone unknown.
• The same man says he gave her $300,000 over the years and got nothing for it, including a failed $1 million bid for a Tucker Carlson interview; Carlson says he has never heard of him.
• She did push his tax problem to the Trump pick for IRS commissioner, attaching his complaint to a congratulatory letter.
• She is also accused of steering a Greek gas deal toward one businessman who follows her everywhere and whom diplomats mistook for her aide.

Outlook: Guilfoyle disputes the messages and Marco Rubio refuses to comment, so she will likely keep the job for now, but the paper trail makes this a live legal risk later.
