According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Kimberly Guilfoyle reached out to Eric Deters, a donor to former President Donald Trump, requesting a $100,000 wire transfer to cover an American Express bill. The communication reportedly took place in the days leading up to her confirmation hearing for the position of U.S. Ambassador to Greece.

The report cites text messages in which Guilfoyle allegedly told Deters, “You could just send it here. It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express.” The request highlights potential questions regarding the intersection of personal finances and political donor relationships. As of now, Guilfoyle has not provided a public response to the specific allegations regarding the nature of the wire transfer request or the context of the conversation with Deters.

While The Hill’s coverage focuses on the timing of the request relative to the confirmation process, the report leaves open questions regarding whether the funds were ultimately transferred or if the request violated any specific ethics rules governing ambassadorial nominees. The situation remains a point of interest due to the high dollar amount requested and the private nature of the communication between a political figure and a major donor.
