GOP donor in Guilfoyle scandal blasts Trump sons, Kushner: ‘I don’t like their yuck-yuck world’

Deters said Guilfoyle asked for the money to cover a credit card bill and offered help with tax and legal problems.

  • On Thursday, campaign donor Eric Deters alleged that Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle solicited $100,000 to use her influence with the IRS and Justice Department. Guilfoyle promised to connect him with officials in exchange for payment covering her American Express bill.
  • A Wednesday Wall Street Journal report first disclosed the solicitation, revealing Guilfoyle needed funds while Deters desperately sought assistance with personal tax and legal issues from the Trump administration. This disclosure prompted broader scrutiny into financial dealings within the Trump orbit.
  • During a Thursday CNN interview with anchor Jake Tapper, Deters described influence-peddling as "standard operating procedure" in the Trump orbit. He alleged former aide Corey Lewandowski engaged in similar activities, suggesting the pattern extends beyond this individual solicitation.
  • Expanding his critique, Deters accused the Trumps of systemic enrichment through board appointments and business ventures. He specifically cited Jared Kushner's $3 billion Saudi Arabia fund, calling the behavior "kind of sickening."
  • Kushner's involvement in the Abraham Accords and Gaza development underscores Deters's broader allegations, as he claims such roles allow the family to profit as stock values rise. These accusations suggest a pattern of enrichment within the Trump administration.
