Kimberly Guilfoyle Allegedly Blamed AI for Damning Text Messages in Desperate Bid to Save Her Job Before Resignation

In a last-ditch effort to save her job as US Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle blamed artificial intelligence for her incriminating texts, according to a new Wall Street Journal report.

Before her resignation, the Journal exposed a series of Signal messages between Guilfoyle and Republican megadonor Eric Deters.

The messages showed Guilfoyle pleading with Deters to wire $100,000 directly to her American Express account days before her Senate confirmation hearing, assuring him it "won't show up anywhere." In exchange, she allegedly offered him proximity and access to the Trump administration.

“When the Journal published a second investigation revealing text messages that showed she had solicited $100,000 from a Trump donor in the run-up to her confirmation hearing last year, Guilfoyle reached out to White House officials to say the text messages were AI-generated,” the WSJ reported. “The officials didn’t believe her claims, the people said. Journal reporters verified the authenticity of the donor’s text messages.”

The Journal said Guilfoyle also blamed embassy staff and her security team for the texts and publicly called on a far-right Breitbart journalist to back her to the administration.

The text message leak culminated a broader set of controversies surrounding her short tenure in Athens.

She was accused of promoting a specific Greek energy firm's private business interests and granting its lobbyist access to classified diplomatic meetings.

Reports indicated she threatened host-country officials, saying the U.S. could undermine the Greek government if it chose to.

This incident wasn’t Guilfoyle’s first attempt to control the press narrative about her. According to the newspaper, she asked the State Department to remove an article about her failure to pay a $1,768 tab for two cases of champagne and dinner from the internet. When they asked her to show a receipt proving she paid, she didn't.

President Donald Trump publicly stated he was "not happy" with the negative coverage regarding his eldest son's former fiancée before ordering her removal.

"She went to Greece. She was doing a good job, but we didn't like what we were reading," said Trump.

While Guilfoyle complied with the request to step down, she posted on X that the allegations against her are false and maintained that she intends to "vigorously defend" herself.

Deters, the whistleblowing Republican donor who accused her of pay-for-play arrangement, explicitly told the press, "It was a definite quid pro quo." He later added on Good Morning America, "She was so desperate for me to send that $100,000, she said, 'If you do this for me... I will be your ride or die in Trump World.'"
