Greece-ing the Wheels? The Claim About Kimberly Guilfoyle

The Wall Street Journal broke a story in October 2025 that a Trump donor named Eric Dieters had gone to Kimberly Guilfoyle—the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., now serving as U.S. ambassador to Greece—asking for help. According to Dieters, she asked him for $100,000 in cash in return. ABC News Capitol Hill correspondent Jay O'Brien walked through the allegations on Start Here, and Dieters himself went on camera to describe what he says happened.

The Alleged Quid Pro Quo

Dieters claims that in July 2025, as Guilfoyle was going through Senate confirmation to become ambassador to Greece, she told him she needed $100,000 to pay off an American Express credit card bill. Her rationale, according to Dieters: she could not carry that kind of debt through the confirmation process because it would raise questions and potentially block her appointment. Dieters showed the Journal text messages he says are from Guilfoyle, including one where she writes, "Honey, please, I need you to get this done for me today." He says she sent him wire instructions to send the money directly to American Express.
