Donor Says Guilfoyle Sought $100,000 Quid Pro Quo, Calling Her 'Wicked Evil'

3 articles · Updated · ms.now · Oct 10

Summary

  • Eric Deters said on air Thursday that Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle was a “wicked evil person” and that their prior arrangement was “absolutely ... a quid pro quo.”
  • Wall Street Journal-reviewed messages show Guilfoyle allegedly asked Deters on July 3, 2025 to wire $100,000 to American Express before her July 9 confirmation hearing, saying it would not “show up anywhere.”
  • Deters, who wanted help with tax and legal problems, said he had paid Guilfoyle $300,000 over the years but “never” got results; Guilfoyle’s lawyer disputed the messages’ authenticity without detailing why.
  • The allegations add to earlier scrutiny over Guilfoyle’s conduct in Greece and land 26 days before the midterms, as Democrats press corruption attacks and some Republicans warn the episode could hurt the party.
