众议院监督委员会民主党人周五要求《金伯利·吉尔福伊尔秀》制作方提供财务记录和通讯资料，将调查范围扩大至指控前美国驻希腊大使吉尔福伊尔涉嫌向一名特朗普捐款人索要钱财以换取接触政府高层的机会。
House Oversight Committee Democrats on Friday requested financial records and communications from the producer of Kimberly Guilfoyle’s podcast, widening their inquiry into allegations that Guilfoyle, the former U.S. ambassador to Greece, sought money from a Trump donor in exchange for access to the administration.
在致《金伯利·吉尔福伊尔秀》执行制片人德鲁·林奇的信中，委员会首席议员、加利福尼亚州民主党籍众议员罗伯特·加西亚要求提供与捐款人埃里克·德特斯以及特朗普政府官员有关的文件。
In a letter to Drew Lynch, executive producer of “The Kimberly Guilfoyle Show,” Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the committee’s ranking member, sought documents tied to the donor, Eric Deters, and to Trump administration officials.
《MS NOW》审阅的这封信称，林奇似乎早在2025年1月就知晓吉尔福伊尔与德特斯之间的“安排”，且他与德特斯曾讨论过德特斯被承诺获得的政治影响力。
The letter, which was reviewed by MS NOW, says Lynch appears to have known about the “arrangement” between Guilfoyle and Deters as early as January 2025, and that he and Deters discussed the political influence Deters had been promised.
信中引用民主党委员会工作人员审阅的短信称，林奇与德特斯有大量通讯，往往是“代表吉尔福伊尔或为了促成德特斯先生与特朗普政府高级官员（如联邦调查局总法律顾问萨姆·雷默和联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔）建立联系”。“此外，在2025年6月，德特斯先生提醒您注意前大使吉尔福伊尔所描述的她与德特斯先生的‘安排’，并向您传达吉尔福伊尔女士说您‘可能会对其中一些进行回报’，”加西亚在信中写道。加西亚要求林奇于11月13日前回复。
Citing text messages reviewed by Democratic committee staff, the letter says Lynch communicated extensively with Deters, often on Guilfoyle’s behalf “or in furtherance of connecting Mr. Deters with senior Trump Administration officials such as FBI General Counsel Sam Ramer and FBI Director Kash Patel.”“Additionally, in June 2025, Mr. Deters reminded you about what former Ambassador Guilfoyle described as her and Mr. Deters’s ‘arrangement’ and conveyed to you that Ms. Guilfoyle said you ‘may do some rewarding to some of it,’” Garcia wrote in the letter. Garcia asked Lynch to respond by Nov. 13.
自《华尔街日报》首次报道吉尔福伊尔（唐纳德·特朗普小的前未婚妻）在确认听证会前要求德特斯偿还其10万美元信用卡账单以来，这是监督委员会民主党人就此事发出的第三封信。德特斯对《华尔街日报》表示，他希望获得司法部和国税局事务方面的帮助，但吉尔福伊尔从未兑现承诺。
The letter is the third that Oversight Democrats have sent on the matter since the Wall Street Journal first reported that Guilfoyle, the former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., asked Deters to pay off her $100,000 credit card bill ahead of her confirmation hearing. Deters told the Journal that he wanted help with Justice Department and IRS matters, but that Guilfoyle never followed through.
吉尔福伊尔此后已离任，此前特朗普要求她辞职，她也没有回应监督委员会本月初发出的索要文件的联络。吉尔福伊尔的律师告诉《华尔街日报》，他的当事人质疑这些信息不真实，并称德特斯仍欠吉尔福伊尔“前往并支持这些爱国活动的差旅费余额”。作为回应，德特斯对吉尔福伊尔及其法律团队提起了诽谤诉讼。
Guilfoyle has since left her post after Trump requested her resignation and has not replied to the committee’s outreach for documents issued earlier this month. A lawyer for Guilfoyle told the Journal that his client challenged the messages as inauthentic, and that Deters still owed Guilfoyle “a balance for traveling to and supporting these patriotic events.”In response, Deters filed a defamation lawsuit against Guilfoyle and her legal team.
这些信函旨在查明特朗普政府圈子里是否有人曾应吉尔福伊尔的敦促而采取行动。它们还预示了民主党人如果在周二的中期选举中夺回众议院控制权后，计划开展的以腐败问题为重点的监督工作，那将使他们掌控该委员会及其传票权力。
The letters are aimed at determining whether anyone in the Trump administration’s orbit acted at Guilfoyle’s urging. They also offer another preview of the corruption-focused oversight Democrats plan to pursue if they win back the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections, which would give them control of the committee and its subpoena power.
一名监督委员会工作人员在获准匿名讨论内部计划的情况下表示，民主党委员计划积极推进调查，不仅针对“特朗普的子女”，还针对涉及“更广泛的特朗普犯罪家族”的任何人。林奇和白宫均未立即回应置评请求。
Democrats on the Oversight Committee plan to aggressively pursue inquiries not “just into the Trump children,” but anyone involved in the “broader Trump crime family, too,” said a committee staffer, granted anonymity to discuss internal plans. Neither Lynch nor the White House immediately responded to requests for comment.
