The Republican donor whose alleged text exchanges with former U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle led to her recent resignation from the position is suing her over allegations that she made false statements about him.
In apparent text messages between Trump donor Eric Deters and Guilfoyle published by the Wall Street Journal last week, the then-ambassador seemed to promise Deters she would leverage her political connections to help him with personal tax and legal matters if he paid off her $100,000 American Express credit card bill. The debacle led President Donald Trump to request Guilfoyle’s resignation, leading her to step down from the ambassadorship Tuesday.
