Kimberly Guilfoyle Pushed Donor to Wire $100,000 to Her Amex Account: WSJ
The allegation has triggered calls for a State Department review as Guilfoyle’s lawyer disputes the messages and says the bill may have been reimbursable.
- On July 3, 2025, Kimberly Guilfoyle asked Kentucky donor Eric Deters to wire $100,000 to American Express to cover credit card debt, requesting the transfer in a way that "won't show up anywhere," The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
- Eric Deters, a former congressional candidate, had previously promised Guilfoyle $1 million for help accessing Trump regarding a tax dispute and an Ohio fugitive, though he noted paying her $300,000 over years without receiving any favors.
- Guilfoyle urged secrecy in Signal messages, though Deters ultimately refused payment; Jesse Binnall, her attorney, said she disputes the authenticity of the messages, while Deters told The Journal the money was owed for supporting patriotic events.
- Last week, Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees called for a State Department review of Guilfoyle's conduct, following a separate investigation by The Wall Street Journal into her actions before her move to Greece.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended her performance Wednesday at a press conference in Athens, stating "Our ambassador has been a strong ambassador" despite the financial allegations.
