曾指控金伯利·吉洛伊要求其转账10万美元用于支付她的美国运通账单，以换取她在特朗普政府任职期间提供协助、助力其参议院确认听证会的共和党捐赠人埃里克·德特斯，已对吉洛伊及其律师团队提起诽谤诉讼。
吉洛伊本周早些时候被免去美国驻希腊大使职务，并于周二宣布辞职。吉洛伊的团队公开否认德特斯向包括哥伦比亚广播公司新闻在内的多家媒体公开的短信真实性。
德特斯于周四在肯塔基州法院提起诉讼。
德特斯表示，吉洛伊的律师团队曾向《华尔街日报》发表声明，称德特斯欠吉洛伊钱款且未履行义务。该报刊登了其律师声明的部分内容，称吉洛伊“因前往并支持这些爱国活动而获得余额补偿”，德特斯对此予以否认。
“金伯利·吉洛伊和她的律师声称我的指控是虚假的，他们会全力为这些指控辩护，”德特斯在随诉讼提交的声明中写道。“现在他们可以在肯塔基州这么做了。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系诉讼中提及的律师杰西·宾纳尔和戴维·M·施瓦茨置评。

Eric Deters files defamation lawsuit against Kimberly Guilfoyle
October 15, 2026 / 2:54 PM EDT / CBS News
Eric Deters, the Republican donor who accused Kimberly Guilfoyle of asking him to wire her $100,000 to pay her American Express bill in exchange for her help with the Trump administration ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Guilfoyle and her legal team.
Guilfoyle was pushed out of her ambassadorship to Greece earlier this week, announcing her resignation Tuesday. Guilfoyle’s team publicly disputed the authenticity of text messages Deters shared with multiple news outlets, including CBS News.
Deters filed the lawsuit in Kentucky state court on Thursday.
Deters said Guilfoyle’s legal team issued a statement to the Wall Street Journal claiming Deters owed Guilfoyle money and did not fulfill his obligations. The Journal published part of her attorney’s statement, that Guilfoyle “was owed a balance for traveling to and supporting these patriotic events,” which Deters denies.
“Kim Guilfoyle and her lawyers claimed my allegations were false and they would defend the allegations vigorously,” Deters wrote in a statement accompanying his lawsuit. “Now they can in Kentucky.”
CBS News has reached out to the attorneys named in the lawsuit — Jesse Binnall and David M. Schwartz — for comment.
