Summary
White House officials rejected Kimberly Guilfoyle's claim that Signal messages seeking $100,000 from donor Eric Deters were AI-generated, and she resigned Tuesday after being asked to step down.
The Wall Street Journal said its reporters verified the messages, which showed Guilfoyle asking Deters to deposit money into her American Express account ahead of her confirmation hearing.
Deters had sought help with tax and legal problems and allegedly promised Guilfoyle up to $1 million if she could use her Trump administration connections on his behalf.
As scrutiny widened, Guilfoyle reportedly hunted for leakers, accused embassy staff and her security team, sought Breitbart's help, and failed to produce proof she paid a $1,768 champagne-and-dinner bill.
The episode deepened fallout from earlier Journal reports that she traveled on Greek businessmen's private jets and promoted a Greek construction company while working with its chief lobbyist.
