Kimberly Guilfoyle gained recognition as a Fox News co-host before serving as a senior adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. However, she is now making headlines over reports that she allegedly asked a Trump donor to pay a $100,000 American Express bill.
Kimberly Guilfoyle allegedly urged Republican donor Eric Deters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill
As per The Wall Street Journal, Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, allegedly urged Republican donor Eric Deters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill.
Guilfoyle is said to have texted, “It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express. Please.”
“Honey please I need you to get this done for me today. You could just send it here,” she added alongside a prayer emoji and American Express payment instructions.
On Wednesday, October 7, Eric Deters told The Wall Street Journal that making the payment could put his marriage at risk. The former congressional candidate also let the newspaper review hundreds of text messages, emails, and letters exchanged with the ambassador. However, Guilfoyle’s lawyer, Jesse Binnall, told the newspaper that someone had faked the Signal text messages. He provided no evidence or explanation to support that claim.
According to a U.S. Embassy official, “Guilfoyle’s career in and out of public service is guided by deep and abiding values. She was fully vetted by the bipartisan Senate Foreign Relations committee and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The Ambassador remains committed to representing the American people with dedication and integrity.”
Guilfoyle and Deters have met on several occasions. She attended FreedomFest, an event organized by the criminal lawyer, in both 2020 and 2024.
