Trump donor accuses Kimberly Guilfoyle of asking him to pay her $100K credit card bill: 'It was all quid pro quo'

Deters said Guilfoyle was asking for the payment in exchange for something.

A donor to President Donald Trump accused U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle of offering access to top Trump officials in exchange for cash.

"It was all quid pro quo," Deters claimed to ABC News about the request from Guilfoyle, who is the former wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and ex-fiance of Donald Trump Jr.

Deters provided messages to ABC News he says he exchanged with Guilfoyle on the subject. In one message from that period, Deters alleges Guilfoyle wrote, "Honey please I need you to get this done for me today," which Deters alleged was in reference to the desired credit card payment.

Guilfoyle's attorney disputed the messages' authenticity to the Wall Street Journal, but did not provide specifics. Guilfoyle's attorney also said the money could be a reimbursement for travel and speaking expenses. Deters denies he owed Guilfoyle any money.

"She made it very clear, and the text messages make it very clear. She was so desperate for me to send that $100,000," Deters said, adding that she said if he sent the money, she would help with his access to Trump administration officials.

Deters is considered a controversial character in Kentucky politics. He ran for Kentucky governor in 2023 and to represent Kentucky's 4th Congressional District in the House in 2024; he lost both races in the primaries.

A former lawyer, Deters had his law license first suspended in 2012 for actions in multiple cases including comments he made about a judge and improper solicitation of a possible client. In 2021, in refusing to reinstate Deter's law license, the Kentucky Supreme Court said he had a "notorious propensity" for filing "malicious or frivolous lawsuits," according to court documents.

Deters told ABC News that in exchange for money, he believed Guilfoyle would wield her influence to help him on specific issues, such as pressing for the extradition of an Ohio doctor who fled to Pakistan -- a detail he first told the Wall Street Journal.

Deters says he separately offered Guilfoyle money to press for that extradition. The individual in question is still living in Pakistan.
