华盛顿——一名律师兼特朗普的前资助者提起了诽谤诉讼，将前美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊告上法庭。此举显然是为了迫使对方协助将一名涉嫌诈骗的男子引渡回国。
WASHINGTON — A lawyer and former Trump donor unveiled a defamation lawsuit against former US Ambassador to Greece Kimberley Guilfoyle as part of an apparent ploy to win the extradition of an alleged fraudster.
埃里克·德特斯去年曾曝光吉尔福伊发来的短信，内容是其恳请德特斯帮自己偿还约10万美元的个人债务。在吉尔福伊被指声称这些短信系人工智能生成之后，德特斯宣布提起诉讼。
Eric Deters, who exposed text messages Guilfoyle sent begging him to pay off some $100,000 in her personal debts last year, announced the suit after the former Fox News personality allegedly claimed the texts were generated by artificial intelligence.
德特斯表示，如果特朗普总统能够成功将涉嫌诈骗的医生阿布巴卡尔·阿提克·杜拉尼从其据信藏身的巴基斯坦引渡回国，并彻查司法部门对该案的处理情况，他就会撤销诉讼。
Deters explained that he will drop the suit if President Trump gets alleged fraudster physician Abubakar Atiq Durrani extradited from his suspected whereabouts in Pakistan and probes the judiciary’s handling of that case.
“这绝非敲诈勒索，”德特斯在社交媒体上发布的视频中说道，“我的所有要求与行动均不违法。我采取强硬手段，是因为杜拉尼的受害者们理应得到这样的对待。”《华尔街日报》报道称，吉尔福伊公开含糊其辞地声称针对她的指控“毫无根据”，但私下里却向白宫官员表示那些恳求德特斯出钱的短信是人工智能生成的。这些短信以及吉尔福伊给白宫带来的麻烦，最终导致特朗普要求她辞职。
“This is not extortion,” Deters declared in a video post on social media. “Nothing I am asking for or doing is unlawful. I am playing hardball because the doctor Durrani victims deserve hardball on their behalf.”Guilfoyle made a vague public claim that the accusations against her are “false,” but privately told White House officials that the bombshell texts begging Deters for money were AI-generated, the Wall Street Journal reported. The texts — and the distraction Guilfoyle created for the White House — prompted Trump to ask for her resignation.
德特斯一直致力于为杜拉尼的受害者们争取将后者引渡回国，他还暗示自己掌握了特朗普阵营中其他人物的更多丑闻。
Deters, who has been on a crusade to get Durrani extradited on behalf of the doctor’s victims, teased that he has more dirt on other Trump world figures as well.
“大量信息正源源不断地传到我手中。今天我刚和希腊方面的人通完电话，”他补充道，“明天结束时，我会播放一段录音，里面包含迄今为止关于金伯利·吉尔福伊最具爆炸性、最具杀伤力的信息。”
“Information is pouring into me. And I got off the phone today from someone in Greece,” he added. “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.”
“目前没有任何媒体掌握这些信息，”他继续说道，“我会播放一段时长为16分钟的电话对话录音。”德特斯称，在这起诽谤诉讼的庭审过程中他将自行担任自己的辩护律师，他还暗示计划对唐纳德·特朗普小子和吉尔福伊进行取证。两人于2020年订婚，但在2024年正式解除婚约。白宫周二透露，吉尔福伊尔被要求辞职，她随后不久便宣布辞职。
“No one in the media has it,” he added. “And I am going to play for you a 16-minute phone conversation.”Deters, who said he is representing himself in the defamation suit as it plays out in court, also teased plans to pursue depositions of Donald Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle. The two got engaged in 2020, but officially cut it off in 2024. The White House revealed Tuesday that Guilfoyle was asked to step down, and she announced her resignation shortly thereafter.
“这可能会让整个特朗普政府垮台，而我从第一天起就一直支持这个政府，我仍然支持其政策，”迪特斯大胆宣称。
“This might just bring down the entire Trump administration, an administration which I have supported from day one, whose policies I still support,” Deters boldly declared.
“当你明天听到我将要播放的那通电话时，这也可能终结JD·万斯和马尔科·卢比奥的竞选搭档关系。”杜兰尼于2013年因涉嫌诱使近600人接受不必要且有风险的脊柱手术而被起诉多项罪名。但据信他在面临审判前就已逃离该国。
“It also may end the JD Vance, Marco Rubio ticket after you hear the phone call that I’m going to play tomorrow.”Durrani had been indicted in 2013 on numerous charges for allegedly getting close to 600 people to undergo unnecessary, risky spinal surgical operations. But he is believed to have fled the country before he could face trial.
迪特斯曾为众多受害者提供法律帮助，这些受害者因杜兰尼 allegedly 推动他们接受不必要的医疗程序而受到伤害。
Deters did legal work for numerous victims who suffered from Durrani’s alleged push for them to undergo unnecessary medical procedures.
他还要求得到一份承认，即他“没有对吉尔福伊尔进行敲诈”，并且他不欠她钱。
He is also demanding that he receive an admission that he “did not blackmail” Guilfoyle and that he does not owe her money.
“该诉讼显然是站不住脚的。我们即将作出的回应将不言自明，”吉尔福伊尔的律师对《邮报》表示。
“The lawsuit is clearly frivolous on its face. Our upcoming response will speak for itself,” Guilfoyle’s lawyer told The Post.
