Trump donor sues Kimberly Guilfoyle for defamation over $100K wire request

–

Neutral summary

Eric Deters, a donor to President Trump and former congressional candidate, filed a defamation lawsuit against Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former U.S. ambassador to Greece, and her defense attorneys Jesse Binnal and David M. on Thursday, October 15. The lawsuit comes days after Guilfoyle was forced to resign from her ambassadorial post, following reports that she had asked Deters to wire her $100,000 to her American Express account. Deters, who is himself a trained lawyer, also threatened to release damaging information about Trump if an alleged fraudster is not extradited, emphasizing: “This is not extortion.” The Hill, CBS News, Forbes, The Independent, New York Post, and Newsweek all reported on the lawsuit, with New York Post describing it as part of an apparent ploy to secure the extradition of an alleged fraudster. UnHerd, in a separate commentary, questioned whether corruption will catch up with the Trumps, calling Guilfoyle “the tip of the fatberg.”
