WSJ Says Kimberly Guilfoyle Sought $100,000 From Eric Deters for Trump Favors

Summary
$100,000 was the amount Kimberly Guilfoyle allegedly asked Kentucky MAGA donor Eric Deters to pay toward her credit-card bill, according to a Wall Street Journal report on text exchanges.
The Journal said Guilfoyle offered help with Deters' IRS and Justice Department issues and warned him not to document transactions because it could jeopardize her Greece envoy post.
Deters told the Journal he refused the $100,000 request but had previously paid Guilfoyle a one-time $300,000 speaking fee that he says was tied to similar promised help and produced no results.
Guilfoyle's lawyers disputed the authenticity of the messages and said any payments were money Deters already owed her; the alleged exchanges occurred months before her September 2025 Senate confirmation as ambassador to Greece.
