Trump Claims He Knows Little About Kimberly Guilfoyle Scandal: ‘It’s Too Bad’

President Donald Trump claimed to know little about the explosive reports surrounding his ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, offering, “It’s too bad.”

Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report alleging that Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.’s former fiancée, sought $100,000 from former Trump donor Eric Deters to cover her credit card bill while offering political influence in return.

“Honey please I need you to get this done for me today,” a July 3, 2025 Signal message from Guilfoyle to Deters read. According to the Journal, the ambassador then added a “prayer hands emoji and a PDF with bill payment instructions from American Express.”

Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House on Friday, en route to a rally in Syracuse, New York, for the state’s Republican gubernatorial candidate, Bruce Blakeman.

As a reporter attempted to question the president on the matter, he interrupted, “I just heard about it. It’s too bad. I mean, I don’t know. She’s, she’s an ambassador. Uh, I just heard a little bit about it. I don’t know too much, but she was always very nice.”

Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. began dating in 2018, confirmed their engagement in 2022, and ultimately split in 2024 after six years together.

In a fiery MS NOW appearance Thursday, Deter branded the ambassador a “grifter,” adding, “Kimberly Guilfoyle, I have no doubt, has done this to more than me. She’s doing it right now in Greece. I know Corey Lewandowski did this stuff. I know Kristi Noem did this stuff.”

Elsewhere during that interview, though, anchor Peter Alexander was forced to point out, “You do have a track record of making false statements in court proceedings that led to the suspension of your law license.”

According to The Hill, the Kentucky Bar Association indeed “twice suspended [Deters] over misconduct, including making false statements in court proceedings and filing frivolous claims.”
