Eric Deters

Response to this claim

Eric Deters owes Kimberly Guilfoyle about $150,000 for speeches and consulting work she performed before her nomination as ambassador, and her request for payment was an effort to collect that debt.

“I think what I've presented, she can't escape from, it's black and white, it's her own words. And I think she's toast as a result of it. It's grifting on the highest level and it's just an awful look for the administration. ... In all the text messages, she doesn't mention anything about me owing money. What she talks about is papering this. So, what she asked me to do was make up that I owed her money and write her a letter, and I did that for her. She knows that is phony, and I'm going to be suing him for defamation.”

Response to this claim

Kimberly Guilfoyle asked Eric Deters to pay her $100,000 American Express bill in July 2025 in exchange for helping him reach senior Trump administration officials.

“And she promised me that she would be my ride or die in the Trump administration, no request too big, too small, as many requests as I wanted. She would do anything and everything to help me. And she was -- she wanted to cover it up. She wanted to keep it secret. She wanted me to use Signal. She wanted me not to paper it. She got mad at me because I would send e-mails and text messages that she didn't want me to send. The bottom line was, is, it was a definite quid pro quo. That was what she was offering me.”
