Trump donor says he’ll sue Guilfoyle, attorneys
Deters says Guilfoyle’s lawyers falsely called his texts fake and labeled him a blackmailer, as he disputes their claim he owed her $150,000.
- Businessman Eric Deters announced plans to file a defamation lawsuit 'this week or next' against Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and her legal team after they labeled him a 'known blackmailer' and claimed his texts were fake.
- Before her Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing, Guilfoyle allegedly requested $100,000 from Deters via Signal to pay an American Express bill, reportedly in exchange for political influence, according to Statement 33.
- Guilfoyle's legal team maintains she sought $150,000 in unpaid consulting fees, but Deters called that claim 'a complete lie,' insisting his text messages never mentioned him owing her money.
- President Donald Trump confirmed the administration is 'looking at' firing Guilfoyle, and the White House subsequently requested her resignation; Deters welcomed the move, saying he did not think she could survive the allegations.
- The State Department's inspector general is investigating the misconduct claims, while Democratic lawmakers Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin have reached out to Deters for a discussion on Wednesday.
