Kimberly Guilfoyle associate says when she asked him for $100K, it was "quid pro quo"

Key Points:

• Businessman Eric Deters alleges that Kimberly Guilfoyle, U.S. ambassador to Greece and former fiancee of Donald Trump Jr., requested $100,000 to pay her American Express bill in exchange for assistance with the Trump administration prior to her Senate confirmation hearing.
• Deters claims the request was a quid pro quo arrangement, though he never provided the money, citing financial constraints and concerns about the impropriety of the request.
• Text messages reviewed by CBS News appear to confirm the authenticity of the communications, showing Guilfoyle pressing Deters for the payment shortly before her confirmation hearing in July 2025.
• White House officials acknowledged the texts but declined detailed comment, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissing the reports as unverified and Vice President JD Vance expressing discomfort with the hypothetical scenario.
• Deters, a longtime Trump supporter and retired lawyer, is pushing for Guilfoyle’s removal as ambassador and aims to highlight his efforts to extradite Dr. Abubakar Durrani, a surgeon accused of healthcare fraud, whose case he has championed without support from Trump associates.
