Kimberly Guilfoyle Allegedly Sought $100,000 Payment from Trump Donor Before Senate Hearing
Kimberly Guilfoyle, US Ambassador to Greece and former Trump campaign member, reportedly asked Republican donor Eric Deters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation in July 2025. According to reports, Guilfoyle offered favors, including assistance with Deters' IRS and Justice Department issues, in exchange for the payment, which she requested be discreet. Deters declined, citing personal consequences. Guilfoyle's attorneys have disputed the authenticity of the communications and characterized the payments differently.
