WSJ Report on Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Alleged Corruption
The Wall Street Journal reported that Kimberly Guilfoyle allegedly pressured a Trump donor to wire $100,000 to her American Express bill in July 2025, amid her Senate confirmation for U.S. ambassador to Greece, and that she also sought to avoid creating a paper trail in communications with him The Wall Street Journal +2 .
Core Allegations
According to the WSJ, Guilfoyle sent text messages to Republican donor Eric Deters — a former Kentucky congressional candidate — urging him to “get this done for me today” and to pay $100,000 directly to American Express to cover her bill The Wall Street Journal +1 . The report quotes her as writing, “Honey please I need you to get this done for me today… It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express. Please,” and attaching payment instructions Yahoo +1 .
Deters had previously paid Guilfoyle hundreds of thousands of dollars and was seeking her help with tax and legal issues. The WSJ said she also relayed messages to officials on his behalf and urged him to use the Signal messaging app instead of creating written records Yahoo .
Deters ultimately did not make the payment, reportedly because he feared it would strain his marriage Yahoo +1 . Guilfoyle’s attorney disputed the authenticity of some of the alleged Signal messages but did not specify which Yahoo +1 .
Political and Public Reaction
The story drew sharp criticism from conservative commentators, including The Dispatch ’s Stephen Hayes and Tom Nichols, who called it a “jaw‑dropping” example of “grifter culture” in Trump’s inner circle Yahoo . Democrats also called for a probe into Guilfoyle’s conduct The Wall Street Journal .
The U.S. Embassy defended Guilfoyle, saying she remains “committed to representing the American people with dedication and integrity” Yahoo .
Context
Guilfoyle was confirmed as Trump’s ambassador to Greece less than a year before the WSJ report. The allegations surface amid broader scrutiny of her diplomatic activities, including her role in promoting U.S. LNG deals in the Balkans and her association with lobbyist Christos Marafatsos Greek City Times .
Note: The WSJ’s reporting has not been independently confirmed, and Guilfoyle’s legal team has contested the authenticity of some messages Yahoo +1 .

If I am understanding this correctly she wanted a "donor" to pay her $100,000 credit card bill in exchange for political favors.
more likely, it was a straight up bribe, since you can treat your AMEX account like an interest paying bank account now ...
Why should anyone even be interested in this piece of trash?
Because the president you support put her in a position of power, forcing taxpayers to fund her party-girl lifestyle.
She has been abusing her security detail.
Now, I can understand why Trump supporters would like for nobody to be interested in "this trash", but why is "this trash" representing our country?
reading comprehension Sandy - juxtaposition much?
How 'bout showing where/when/how I've voiced/implied that I am/have/will be "supporting Trump" - EVER.
The SENATE approved her - typical futch up in this administration - Trump recommended her for the post, but the SENATE had to approve the recommendation to "put her in power".
Your views have been clear. You're full of criticism of Democrats, and silent on Trump, and call out Democrats when they call out Trump. If your views are other than support for Trump, you hide it well.
The Senate approved lots of fuckups. They wouldn't have been in a position to approve them had Trump not nominated them, knowing they're shoo-ins. So now we have a drunken grifter as an ambassador in Greece.
Setting aside the fact that she is somehow a government official who works for us, aren’t we collectively interested in anyone who may be committing a crime or soliciting one?
crimes committed in elected office, and apparently appointed office now, won't be prosecuted by trump's DOJ dick sucker ... there's too many other more important things POS/POTUS has to take care of.
like sanctioning the ICC because he didn't get the nobel peace prize, again, probably because of the war he started 8 months ago.
or removing the russian oil sanctions so that trump can help fund the war efforts of our russian enemy against ukraine by supplying taxpayer money to purchase diesel in a desperate attempt to save his party's ass in the midterms. all while the russians and chinese provide intelligence to iran to help them kill american service people and destroy american military bases.
State the crime. Asking for money is not a crime - if it were, banks and other lenders would be driven out of business.
"May" is such a huge vacuum when real answers are needed.
Her words: “It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express.”
Why is a public official trying to hide an exchange of money? This is suspicious. Is she violating tax law? Campaign finance law? Is it a bribe?
The reporting: The WSJ said she also relayed messages to officials on his behalf and urged him to use the Signal messaging app instead of creating written records.
Why does she need to relay messages? Can’t he access officials directly? Is he paying for special access? That’s supposed to be illegal.
Why use a special app to hide the record?
All of this easily rises to the level of Reasonable Suspicion that criminal activity is occurring and warrants an investigation.
Nothing to see here. Move along. There's no crime until there's a conviction, and minimizing this is absolutely NOT support for this administration. Perish the thought.
felony convictions of their leadership means nothing to the vast majority of maga ...
besides, they let ghislaine have a puppy in the the fed joint, maybe they'll let kim have a dildo, or a bigger dog ... /s
You would think her ex potential in laws would give her 100 grand just to make sure she keeps their dirt under the rug.
Anyone think the DoJ will prosecute her?
Nope
Rightwing conservatives scream about supposed leftist pedophiles running the country, so they elect a man accused of raping a 13 year old along with his good friend a convicted pedophile. They scream about some fantasy deep state they've never proven and supposed Democrat DOJ corruption but empower the most corrupt DOJ in American history and create the deep state they say they were so afraid of. They scream about election fraud they can't prove and then work furiously to disenfranchise eligible American voters in what amounts to the widest spread voter fraud in American history as they try to rig it permanently in their favor. They scream about activist judges on the Supreme Court but enable the most conservative activist justices in American history that have shredded the constitution, ignored the separation of church and State and shit on women and minorities as the white male patriarchy demands their right to do.
So no, this feckless dumb fuck cadre of conservative dipshits running the DOJ will never even attempt to prosecute this corrupt cunt. She's just one of the many MAGA loyalists who they just assume will get pardoned anyway even if convicted so why even bother. Fucking useless treasonous conservative scum.
most of their accusations are confessions ...
I wonder if there is a single American with a brain who is surprised at hearing this. This is Donald Trump Jrs ex fiancé.
What's your point - Jr.'s ain't in charge of any governmental functions.
Hell, everybody's got ex's that ain't worth shyte.
His father is, and appointed the "ex that ain't worth shyte".
she'll be the first to squeal, once the investigations start ...
I read she demoted her driver for not answering a 4am call to bring her ice cubes ...
A class act. Reading her emails sounds like listening to the Nixon tapes. Fucking bitch. Stupid fucking ass, etc., ad nauseum.
I'm more troubled by her dire need of ice cubes at 4am. her enthusiastic use of F bombs doesn't bother me ...
Well, she stepped down after the WH told her to leave.
Let's see how long it takes her to move out of the Ambassadors residence.
there was probably a cash bonus involved with the eviction. when do you think her tell all book comes out?
Doesn't she need to learn how to write first?
A publisher will sit down with her and a voice recorder for a couple of months and then hire a ghostwriter.
The DoJ won't investigate her for taking bribes, so she'll be free to hang out at the Mar-a-lago pool looking for one of the undocumented poolboys to exploit.
mar-a-lardo had better stock up on coke and ouzo ...
IOW...cheat just like the rest of them
poor thing, worst case of headboard brain trauma the world has ever seen before ...
She beats out Boebert?
It's a close tie
blowbert works both sides of B street now, but not the aisle...
I heard an ex CIA operative on a podcast this morning saying she has been a party girl in Athens getting drunk at upscale clubs in the city where she is the US ambassador.
putin probably has her social shenanigans and a lot more on video ...
Maybe she was soliciting money to have her hideous physical appearance reversed and return her to looking like a human being.

I'm afraid full head transplants are still a few years into the future ...
I don't think any amount of surgery is going to help her now
There isn't anyone associated with the Trumps who isn't corrupt.
