Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, October 08, 2026

Kimberly Guilfoyle asked a MAGA donor to pay a $100,000 American Express bill without leaving a paper trail, a bombshell new report alleges. Guilfoyle, 57, now the U.S. ambassador to Greece, begged for a cash infusion from Eric Deters, a 63-year-old former congressional candidate from Kentucky, he tells the Wall Street Journal, which also reviewed alleged Signal texts between the two. "It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express," the Trump-appointed Guilfoyle texted Deters, according to the Journal. "Please." In another message shared with the Journal, she allegedly wrote: "Honey please I need you to get this done for me today. You could just send it here."

The texts came as Deters was seeking Guilfoyle's help in "getting the attention of the new Trump administration on some personal tax and legal issues," according to WSJ.

Deters ultimately did not make the payment. He says he told Guilfoyle, then still freshly split with Donald Trump Jr., that doing so would end his marriage. However, the Journal reports that in one message, Deters wrote that he has paid Guilfoyle $300,000 over the years and had "not received one favor."
