Kimberly Guilfoyle
Role at the time: U.S. ambassador to Greece, in a post on her personal X account announcing her departure
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.
“I also want to address the recent allegations against me. These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.”
Guilfoyle's post on her personal X account on October 13, 2026, after the White House said it had asked her to resign. She thanks President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, lists work from her tenure, and says the recent allegations against her are false.
Why we used this label
The reference point is Eric Deters's allegation that Kimberly Guilfoyle, shortly before her July 2025 Senate confirmation hearing, asked him to pay her $100,000 American Express bill while offering to help him reach senior Trump administration officials. Denied: Guilfoyle writes that "These allegations are false" in a passage addressing the recent allegations against her, which include Deters's account. The closest competing label is Challenged the characterization; it loses because this post offers no alternative account of the request and rejects the allegations outright.
