Lawyer Sues Guilfoyle, Threatens Trump Dirt Over Extradition

A lawyer and former Trump donor has filed a defamation lawsuit against former US Ambassador to Greece Kimberley Guilfoyle, asserting the suit as a means to secure the extradition of an alleged fraudster.

Eric Deters announced the lawsuit after Guilfoyle, who he had previously loaned money to, allegedly claimed that text messages she sent him requesting personal debt repayment were generated by artificial intelligence. Deters stated that he will withdraw the suit if President Trump ensures the extradition of physician Abubakar Atiq Durrani from Pakistan and investigates the judicial handling of his case.

"This is not extortion," Deters said in a social media video. "Nothing I am asking for or doing is unlawful. I am playing hardball because the doctor Durrani victims deserve hardball on their behalf."

Guilfoyle has publicly called the accusations against her "false," but privately informed White House officials that the texts were AI-generated, according to The Wall Street Journal. The controversy surrounding these texts and the distraction they caused for the White House led Trump to request her resignation.

Deters, who has been actively working to have Durrani extradited on behalf of victims, also suggested he possesses further damaging information about other figures in Trump's circle. "Information is pouring into me. And I got off the phone today from someone in Greece," he stated. "By the end of tomorrow I am going to play for you a phone recording that is the most explosive, most devastating information about Kimberly Guilfoyle to date."

He also indicated plans for depositions involving Donald Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle.

The White House confirmed Guilfoyle's departure, and she subsequently announced her resignation. Deters expressed that his actions could have significant repercussions, even potentially impacting the Trump administration and the JD Vance/Marco Rubio ticket.

Durrani was indicted in 2013 on multiple charges for allegedly coercing approximately 600 individuals into undergoing unnecessary and risky spinal surgeries. He is believed to have fled the country before facing trial.

Deters represented numerous victims who allegedly suffered from Durrani's practice of pushing unnecessary medical procedures. He is also seeking an admission that he did not blackmail Guilfoyle and that he owes her no money.

Guilfoyle's lawyer responded to the lawsuit, stating, "The lawsuit is clearly frivolous on its face. Our upcoming response will speak for itself."
