Summary
$100,000 was the amount Eric Deters said Kimberly Guilfoyle asked him to wire in early July 2025 to pay off her American Express bill before her Senate confirmation hearing.
Texts Deters shared with The New York Times show Guilfoyle pressing for same-day payment and warning that disclosure could jeopardize her ambassadorship, urging him to use Signal and keep the arrangement private.
Deters said Guilfoyle tied the request to access inside Trump world, telling him she could reach cabinet officials and top appointees including then-Attorney General Pam Bondi and IRS Commissioner Billy Long.
The account expands on earlier Wall Street Journal reporting about the alleged off-books payment request, adding Deters's interview and screenshots as the controversy around the U.S. ambassador to Greece widens.
